About

Stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is seen in a relatively heterogeneous group of patients with ipsilateral mediastinal (N2) lymph node involvement. The relative roles of different treatment modalities are not clear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant double-drug chemotherapy containing platinum plus anlotinib hydrochloride in patients with stage III(N2) non-small-cell lung cancer.

Full description

This is a prospective, open-label, multi-institutional, positive medicine control of equal rank comparative study of neoadjuvant double-drug chemotherapy with platinum plus anlotinib hydrochloride in stage III(N2) non-small-cell lung cancer.The main purpose of this study was to compare the difference in N2 downgrade rate of lymph node and resectability rate between the experimental and control groups, to evaluate the efficacy of anlotinib hydrochloride, and to observe and evaluate its objective response rate(ORR)，Disease-free Survival (DFS)and overall survival(OS).

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

7. Subjects voluntarily joined the study and signed informed consent, with good adherence and follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

1. Stage I, II , IV orNSCLC;
2. Small cell lung cancer (including lung cancer mixed with small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer);central lung squamous carcinoma along with cavum;
3. Patients with contraindication of chemotherapy
4. Subjects who have previously used Anlotinib;
5. Systematic anti-tumor treatments have been performed for the past 2 weeks, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for metastatic lesions other than thoracic radiation), targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and biotherapy;
6. Imaging (CT or MRI) shows that the distance between tumor lesion and the large blood vessel is ≤ 5 mm, or there is a central tumor that invades the local large blood vessel; or there is a significant pulmonary cavity or necrotizing tumor;
7. A history of active bleeding within the first 6 months of screening, or receiving thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy, or the investigator believes that there is a clear tendency to gastrointestinal bleeding (such as esophageal varices with bleeding risk, local activity) Ulcer lesions, etc.) or active hemoptysis;
8. A thrombotic event occurs within 6 months (including arteriovenous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident, including transient ischemic attack, etc.);
9. Cardiac diseases with obvious clinical symptoms, such as: congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease with obvious symptoms, arrhythmia with difficult drug control (including clinically significant QTc interval prolongation history, or screening period QTc interval women >470ms, Male > 450ms), had myocardial infarction within 6 months, or cardiac insufficiency;

13. Active or uncontrolled serious infections;
14. Pregnant or lactating women; those who have fertility are unwilling or unable to take effective contraceptive measures;
15. Increasing the risk associated with participating in a study or study drug, and at the discretion of the investigator, may lead to other conditions in which the patient is not eligible for inclusion in the study.
