Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), Angiogenesis Inhibition in Oncology, Recurrent or Metastatic Lung Cancer, Third-line and Beyond Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Vorolanib as monotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving third-line or higher treatments. It is a single-center, single-arm, prospective Phase II clinical trial. Thirty-two patients who have undergone at least two lines of systemic therapy and exhibited progression or recurrence will receive 300 mg of Vorolanib daily until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or death. The primary endpoint is the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate. Secondary endpoints include PFS, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and safety. This research aims to expand the clinical applications of Vorolanib in NSCLC, providing a basis for further investigation.
Interventions
This study utilizes Vorolanib, a novel angiogenesis inhibitor, as a monotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have failed at least two lines of systemic therapy. Vorolanib is administered orally at a dosage of 300 mg daily. The intervention focuses on its efficacy and safety as a third-line or beyond treatment, aiming to improve progression-free survival (PFS) and other clinical outcomes. Vorolanib targets VEGFR, PDGFR, and other tyrosine kinases, distinguishing it from other therapies by its enhanced anti-angiogenesis properties and tolerable safety profile in late-stage cancer treatment.

Patients without clinical symptoms of intracranial hypertension caused by brain metastases or with brain metastasis symptoms that are stable after prior treatment (radiation therapy or surgery) of brain or meningeal metastasis (usually requiring more than 4 weeks post-radiation therapy)
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6-Month Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients | 6 months from the initiation of treatment | The primary outcome measure is the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate, defined as the proportion of patients who have not experienced disease progression or death within 6 months of initiating Vorolanib treatment. Disease progression will be assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria through imaging studies, including enhanced chest and upper abdominal CT scans and brain MRI, conducted at regular intervals. |
