5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1 exploratory study. The study plans to enroll 30 eligible patients to receive the MEK inhibitor trametinib (2 mg) in combination with anlotinib (8 mg, 10 mg, 12 mg). Patients participated in safety follow-up after the first course of treatment until 3 months after discontinuation due to PD or toxicity. Dose-limiting toxicities from the first cycle were collected for phase II combination dose determination. Tumor assessments will be performed at screening followed by follow-up every 4 weeks ± 1 week until objective disease progression or unacceptable toxicity is confirmed. Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic analysis and biomarker discovery at baseline and at each periodic assessment.
Detailed Description
Inclusion criteria Adult patients (age ≥18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed IIIB-IV NSCLC (American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging (8th Edition)). Patients must have a performance status of WHO/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0- 1, weight > 30 kg, good organ and bone marrow function, and no drug contraindications in all patients. Duration of treatment Enrolled patients will continue treatment until disease progression, as assessed by the investigator, unless specific treatment discontinuation criteria are met. Study Drug, Dosage, and Administration Trametinib 2mg will be dosed with anlotinib in all patients starting at week 0. Trametinib will be administered according to prescribing information for general use: 2 mg, QD, PO in dose. Anlotinib is available in three dose levels of 12 mg, 10 mg and 8 mg. Dose escalation was designed according to the "3+3 "principle. The initial dose is 8 mg, QD, PO, taken for the first 14 days of each 21-day cycle. If no patients developed DLT in the first treatment cycle, the 10 mg dose was explored. If 1 of 3 patients had a DLT, 3 more patients would need to be included for evaluation at this dose. If >1 out of 3 patients in a given dose group develops DLT, it is suggested that a lower dose group can be explored. If no DLT occurred at the 10 mg dose, the 12 mg dose was explored. The dose may be reduced whenever toxicities that cannot be controlled with best supportive care are identified during the study. The dose may be increased to the next dose level if the subject subsequently tolerated that level of treatment well, according to the investigator's judgment. Treatment will be discontinued if subjects cannot tolerate treatment after dose reduction to 8 mg.
