Abstract:

AIM: To investigate and explore the efficacy and safety of third line treatment of mesylate apatinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Designed as a retrospective study, a total of 96 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer from March 2015 to June 2018 were included in this study, and the clinical data and clinical outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. The 96 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were treated with mesylate apatinib until the disease progress. The clinical efficacy and changes of MMP-9, VEGF and CEA were observed after two cycles treatment. The objective remission rates (ORR), disease control rates (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated and safety data were recorded. RESULTS:All of the 96 patients were available for efficacy evaluation, among them, complete remission (CR) 0 cases, partial remission (PR) 16 cases, stable disease (SD) 54 cases and progression disease (PD) 26 cases. The objective remission rate (ORR) was 16.67%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.92%. There were significant differences in MMP-9, VEGF and CEA between before treatment group and after treatment group (P<0.05). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 4.65 months. The median overall survival (mOS) was 8.90 months. In terms of safety analysis, grade 3 and above adverse reactions with high incidence were hypertension (13.54%), hand-foot syndrome (9.75%), proteinuria (7.29%), hemoptysis (7.29%), fatigue (6.25%) and hypertriglyceridemia (4.17%). CONCLUSION:Mesylate apatinib is effective and safe in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
