Brief Title: APatinib Plus Chemotherapy vErsus Chemotherapy As First-line Treatment for Advanced NSCLC
Official Title: A Multicenter Phase II Trial of Pemetrexed Plus Carboplatin With or Without Apatinib in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Without EGFR Mutation, ALK Gene Rearrangement, and ROS1 Gene Rearrangement
Study ID: NCT03164694
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to studying the addition of apatinib with chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
Detailed Description: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the recommended therapeutic approach for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without EGFR mutation, ALK gene rearrangement, and ROS1 gene rearrangement. However, the prognosis of advanced NSCLC remains poor. Apatinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. Apatinib has been proved to be effective and safe in heavily pretreated patients with gastric cancer. This study is to studying the addition of apatinib with chemotherapy to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
