About this study
Official title: A Phase II, Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study of Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules as Maintenance Therapy for Intermediate-High Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma in Children
This is a randomized controlled phase II clinical study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of anlotinib hydrochloride in children with Intermediate-High -risk rhabdomyosarcoma. The study enrolled children with rhabdomyosarcoma confirmed by histopathology, with a clinical risk classification of high or Intermediate-risk accompanied by high-risk factors (high-risk factors are defined as age > 10 years,Poor prognosis molecular characteristics or those who cannot undergo surgery/radiotherapy);One year of maintenance treatment with anlotinib can increase the duration of response and long-term survival.
Read the detailed description
Anlotinib Hydrochloride is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor.It can effectively inhibit kinases such as VEGFR, PDGFR, FGFR, c-Kit and Met, and has the functions of anti-tumor angiogenesis and inhibiting tumor growth.Especially for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/KDR) and VEGFR3 shows a highly selective inhibitory effect, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of less than 1.0 nM, which is significant, and has a significant anti-angiogenic effect.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
DOR (Duration of Response)
DOR (Duration of Response) refers to the period from the first assessment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) of the tumor to the first assessment of disease progression (PD) or death from any cause.
Measured: 2 year
Secondary outcomes (3)
2-year DFS rate
The 2-year DFS rate refers to the probability that a patient does not experience disease recurrence or progression within 2 years after cancer treatment.
Measured: 2 year after treatment
2-year OS rate
2-year OS rate is defined as the percentage of patients who do not experience death from any cause after 2-year treatment.
Measured: 2 year after treatment
Adverse events (AE)
An AE refers to any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, but which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Number and classification of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 were recorded.
Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Anlotinib+Cyclophosphamide+Vinorelbine and Cyclophosphamide+Vinorelbine in people with Rhabdomyosarcoma Recurrent and Maintenance Treatment, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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?
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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2025. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact yizhuo zhang (0086-18819241079, zhangyzh@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
DOR (Duration of Response) (time frame: 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Aug 2025.
