-Summary

This exploratory clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of combining benmelstobart (a PD-L1 inhibitor) with anlotinib (a multi-target anti-angiogenic TKI) as a first-line, chemotherapy-free treatment for elderly patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

+Detailed description

Target Population: Patients aged 75 years or older with stage IIIB/IIIC (unresectable) or stage IV NSCLC who have no EGFR/ALK driver mutations and cannot tolerate or refuse standard chemotherapy/radiotherapy. Treatment Plan: Participants receive a combination of intravenous benmelstobart (1200 mg every 3 weeks) and oral anlotinib (10 mg daily for 2 weeks, followed by 1 week off) in 21-day cycles. Study Duration: Treatment continues for up to 24 months (35 cycles), or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Primary Objective: Assess the treatment's efficacy by measuring the Objective Response Rate (ORR). Secondary Objectives: Evaluate overall safety, Progression-Free Survival (PFS), and Overall Survival (OS).

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
Benmelstobart + AnlotinibExperimentalDrug: Benmelstobart Combined With Anlotinib
  • Benmelstobart Combined With Anlotinib (Drug): Benmelstobart: Administered via intravenous infusion at a dose of 1200 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W). Anlotinib Hydrochloride: Administered orally at a dose of 10 mg daily, taken for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week off, in repeated 3-week (21-day) cycles.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 24 months]: Percentage of participants who achieve a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
  • Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to 24 months.]: Safety and tolerability profile evaluated by assessing the incidence, type, and severity of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and clinically significant abnormal laboratory test values, graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0.

Secondary outcomes

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 24 months.]: Length of time from the start of treatment until the first documented disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
  • Overall Survival (OS) [Up to 24 months (or survival follow-up up to 1 year after disease progression)]: Length of time from the start of treatment until death from any cause.
