About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase II Trial of Sintilimab Combined With Anlotinib For Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After First-Line PD-1 Inhibitor

The combination of immunocheckpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenesis therapy has synergistic anti-tumor effect and is a reasonable method to improve the prognosis of patients. Therefore, in this study, it is hoped that sintilimab combined with anlotinib can overcome immunotherapy resistance, improve the efficacy of immunotherapy, and further improve the survival of patients, so as to provide more clinical evidence for the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with negative driver gene after first-line treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody.

Read the detailed description

Most cancer cells that do not respond to a single immune checkpoint inhibitor escape through the innate immune escape mechanism, allowing them to grow and survive. Different from the inherent resistance mechanism, some patients who initially responded to immune checkpoint inhibitors developed disease progression after a period of treatment and follow-up, suggesting acquired resistance. Therefore, clinical strategies continue to be applied to overcome inherent and acquired resistance to improve the clinical efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Combining an immune checkpoint inhibitor with another drug that has both immune regulation and anti-tumor properties can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of any one drug when used alone. Studies have shown that tumor angiogenesis participates in anti-tumor immune regulation and will aggravate the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, and anti-angiogenesis therapy can normalize the abnormal vascular structure and function of tumors, and help the recruitment and infiltration of effector T cells. , Reduce the accumulation of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells, relieve the immunosuppressive state, thereby improving the efficacy of immunotherapy. The combination of anti-angiogenic drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors has become a promising treatment strategy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sintilimab combined with anlotinib in people with NSCLC, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 31 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04691388, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2024.
