A Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Cadonilimab in Combination With Pemetrexed and Anlotinib for Treatment of Elderly Patients With T790M-negative Advanced Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Following Resistance to EGFR-TKI.
This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (anti PD-1 and CTLA-4 bispecific antibody) in combination with pemetrexed and anlotinib for treatment of elderly patients with T790M-negative advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer following resistance to EGFR-TKI.
• Patients signed informed consent, willing to accept this regimen, able to adhere to the medication, and had good compliance.
• Patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV according to the AJCC staging system, 8th edition) diagnosed by histopathology or cytopathology
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed, locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV according to the AJCC staging manual, 8th edition) patients with EGFR sensitive mutations (confirmed by tumour histology, cytology, or cell-free or circulating tumour DNA) progressed after receiving EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor therapy; confirmed EGFR Thr790Met negative mutation status after receiving first-generation, second-generation or third-generation EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitor as first-line or second-line treatment
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2
• Presence of at least one measurable lesion
• An estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months
• Good organ function was defined as hemoglobin≥90g/L (no blood transfusion within 7 days), absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5×109/L, and platelet count≥100×109/L. Total bilirubin level≤1.5 times of the upper limit of normal value (ULN), albumin ≥30g/L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 times of upper limit of normal (ULN), in cases with liver metastasis, AST and ALT≤5 times of ULN; Creatinine ≤1.5 times of ULN; International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 times of ULN, if the participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy normally, as long as the PT is within the prescribed range of anticoagulant drugs
