e21063 Background: The prognosis of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients(pts) with multiple brain metastases is poor. WBRT is the main treatment for the pts, but QUARTZ study showed that the efficacy of WBRT is unsatisfactory. The synergistic effect of the antiangiogenic therapy with radiation therapy has been well established. Anlotinib, an antiangiogenic multi-target TKI, had significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC with Brain Metastases. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with WBRT in pts with brain metastases ( > 3) from advanced NSCLC. Methods: Advanced NSCLC pts with brain metastases ( > 3) who were histologically confirmed to be driver gene wild type or positive and pts who had received two or more previous treatments were eligible. Pts with meningeal metastasis were excluded. All pts were treated with anlotinib (12 mg, QD, day 1 to 14 of a 21-day cycle) combined with WBRT (DT 30Gy/12f), followed by maintenance therapy with anlotinib until disease progression or treatment intolerance. The primary endpoint was intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS). Secondary endpoints were extracranial PFS (ePFS), OS and toxicity. Results: As of 25 Jan 2021, 28 pts were enrolled. The median age was 57.5 years with 46.4% male. 89.3% of pts with adenocarcinoma. 21.4% pts harbored EGFR mutation. A total of 25 pts were included in efficacy analysis. In intracranial evaluation, ORR was 64.0%, DCR was 88.0%, median iPFS was 11.1 months (95% CI 5.9 to 12.1). In extracranial evaluation, ORR was 12.0%, DCR was 84.0%, median ePFS was 6.0months (95% CI 3.2 to 8.8). Most common grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs) were hypertension (67.8%), fatigue (64.2%),anorexia (46.4%) and hand and foot skin reaction (37.5%). The most common grade 3-4 AEs were hypertension (12.5%), hand and foot skin reaction (10.7%) and fatigue (7.2%). No intracranial hemorrhage occurred during treatment. Dose adjustment due to AE occurred in 21.4% patients. Conclusions: This prospective study shows that the combination of anlotinib and WBRT for patients with multiple brain metastases after standard treatment resistance exhibited an effective therapeutic approach and manageable AEs. For further investigation, large sample and additional clinical trials are warranted. Clinical trial information: ChiCTR1900022093.
