Brief summary

Currently, there is no standard treatment for primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioid carcinoma. Apatinib is a new kind of Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). A disease-control rate of 75% was found in lung cancer patients in a phase II clinical study. Therefore, researchers hope to explore the efficacy and safety of apatinib in the treatment of primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioid carcinoma.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, exploratory clinical trial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib monotherapy in the treatment of primary pulmonary lymphoepithelioid carcinoma. Thirty-three cases of pulmonary lymphoepithelioid carcinoma were enrolled in this study. The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival.
