Docetaxel Combined With Carboplatin Plus Anlotinib as First Line Treatment in NSCLC

First-line patients (or postoperative recurrence) with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC were enrolled in this trail. The patients (clinical stage ⅢB/Ⅳ, with no sensitizing mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene or translocation of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene) were confirmed by histological or cytological diagnosis. The primary endpoint is PFS; secondary endpoint includes OS, DCR and ORR. The study was single-arm, conducted at 8 centers in China mainland. The primary end point was PFS (time from enrollment to first RECIST1.1-defined PD or death). 45 patients were planned for enrollment. This estimate was based on 80% power, with a two-sided 5% significance level. We analyzed PFS and OS using Kaplan-Meier methodology. The research protocol was approved by the relevant ethics committees, and the study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Patients gave written informed consent to participate in the trial.
