Efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with carboplatin and pemetrexed as first-line induction therapy followed by anlotinib plus pemetrexed as maintenance therapy in EGFR/ALK wild-type advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer in China: a multicenter, single-arm trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The efficacy and safety of chemotherapy strategies combining the multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in patients with advanced EGFR/ALK wild-type non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (nsq-NSCLC) are undetermined. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with carboplatin/pemetrexed-based chemotherapy followed by maintenance therapy (anlotinib plus pemetrexed) in advanced EGFR/ALK wild-type nsq-NSCLC.

Methods

Eligible patients with wild-type EGFR/ALK advanced nsq-NSCLC who received first-line therapy in Henan Province from March 2019 to February 2021 were recruited. All patients were treated with anlotinib in combination with carboplatin/pemetrexed-based chemotherapy, followed by maintenance therapy (a
