Official title

Study of Liposomal Irinotecan Combined with Apatinib in the Treatment of Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After First-line Progression

Overview

The purpose of this study is to observe the efficacy and safety of liposomal irinotecan combined with apatinib in the treatment of extensive stage small cell lung cancer progressed from first-line regimen.

Detailed description

Small cell lung cancer is a highly invasive neuroendocrine tumor characterized by high malignancy and rapid proliferation. Although most patients with extensive SCLC are sensitive to first-line treatments such as etoposide combined with platinum and immunotherapy, most patients experience disease progression again after first-line treatment. Therefore, extending the survival time of patients and improving their quality of life have become key issues in the second-line treatment of SCLC. The current guidelines for second-line treatment of SCLC recommend monotherapy, including topotecan, irinotecan, etc. However, the available options have poor efficacy and are prone to drug resistance. Irinotecan liposomes improve drug stability and prolong circulation time through liposome encapsulation, and target tumor tissues through high permeability and long retention effects, with the expected effect of reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy. Apatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors to achieve anti angiogenic and anti-tumor effects. It has been proven to have positive therapeutic effects in multiple types of cancer, including SCLC. At present, the combination mode of chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs has been explored in various tumors, and the results show that this mode has drug synergistic effects, which can significantly improve the efficacy of anti-tumor treatment. Therefore, exploring the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of liposomal irinotecan combined with apatinib is of great clinical and theoretical significance for the refractory tumor population of extensive stage small cell lung cancer with first-line treatment progress.
