摘要
SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to observe the clinical efficacy of apatinib (AP) combined with 131I in the treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) and the prognostic significance of MIP-1α after treatment, and to provide reference and guidance for future treatment and disease assessment of RAIR-DTC. One hundred and six patients with RAIR- DTC admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to October 2020 were selected for the study. All the patients were treated with TC surgery with 131I at our hospital, and 58 of them were subsequently transferred to AP treatment, which was considered as the research group; the other 48 patients were transferred to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression treatment, which was considered as the control group. The clinical efficacy of the research group was better than that of the control group (P 0.05). After treatment, Tg, TL, maximum diameter of C/B lymph nodes, number of lymph nodes and number of calcified spots were lower in the research group than in the control group (P < 0.05). ROC analysis revealed that the predictive sensitivity of MIP-1α for prognosis of 3-year RAIR-DTC death in the research group of patients was 84.63 % and the specificity was 72.16 %. AP combined with 131I is effective in the treatment of RAIR-DTC and is worth using in the clinical practice. In addition, elevated levels of MIP-1α predicted a poor prognosis for patients with RAIR-DTC.
El objetivo de este estudio fue observar la eficacia clínica de apatinib (AP) combinado con 131I en el tratamiento del cáncer de tiroides diferenciado refractario al yodo radiactivo (RAIR-DTC) y la importancia pronóstica de MIP-1α después del tratamiento, y proporcionar referencia y orientación para futuros tratamientos y enfermedades. Evaluación de RAIR- DTC. Se seleccionaron para el estudio 106 pacientes con RAIR- DTC ingresados en nuestro hospital desde enero de 2019 hasta octubre de 2020. Todos los pacientes fueron tratados con cirugía CT con 131I, y 58 de ellos fueron trasladados posteriormente a tratamiento AP, los que fueron considerados como grupo de investigación; los otros 48 pacientes fueron transferidos a tratamiento de supresión de la hormona estimulante de la tiroides (TSH), que se consideró como grupo de control. La eficacia clínica del grupo de investigación fue mejor que la del grupo de control (P 0,05). Después del tratamiento, Tg, TL, diámetro máximo de los linfonodos C/B, número linfonodos y número de manchas calcificadas fueron menores en el grupo de investigación que en el grupo de control (P <0,05). El análisis ROC reveló que la sensibilidad predictiva de MIP-1α para el pronóstico de muerte por RAIR-DTC a 3 años en el grupo de pacientes de investigación fue del 84,63 % y la especificidad fue del 72,16 %. AP combinado con 131I es eficaz en el tratamiento del RAIR-DTC y vale la pena utilizarlo en la práctica clínica. Además, los niveles elevados de MIP-1α predijeron un mal pronóstico para los pacientes con RAIR- DTC.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of apatinib combined with adriamycin in the second-line chemotherapy of platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer （OC） from the perspective of the health system in China. METHODS A three-state partitioned survival model was constructed based on the APPROVE clinical trial and related literature data， with a model simulation time frame of 10 years and a 4-week cycle， and both cost and utility values were discounted using a 5% discount rate. Cost and quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） were used as a model output indicator and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER） was calculated to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of apatinib combined with adriamycin versus adriamycin chemotherapy in the second-line treatment of platinum-resistant recurrent OC. One-way sensitivity analysis， probability sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were used to verify the robustness of the base-case analysis results. RESULTS The results of base-case analysis indicated that compared with chemotherapy alone， ICER of patients receiving apatinib combined with adriamycin was 124 678.25 yuan/QALY， which was less than willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold set in this study [3 times per capita gross domestic product （GDP） of China in 2022 （257 094 yuan）]. The results of scenario analysis showed that， with the extension of the simulation time limit， the ICER of apatinib combined with adriamycin was gradually reduced， and the decline was gradually reduced， but both were less than WTP threshold. The results of single factor sensitivity analysis showed that the factors that had the greatest impact on ICER were the utility value of progression， body surface area， discount rate，and the cost of best supportive treatment， etc. The results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that under WTP threshold set in this study， the economic probability of apatinib combined with adriamycin was about 99%. CONCLUSIONS From the perspective of China’s health system， using three times the per capita GDP in 2022 as the WTP threshold， the combination of apatinib and adriamycin is more cost-effective than adriamycin alone in second-line chemotherapy for platinum-resistant recurrent OC.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for determining the blood concentration of apatinib and apply it clinically. METHODS Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） was used for the determination of blood concentration. The chromatographic column was ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 with the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.2 mL/min； the column temperature was 40 ℃， and the injection volume was 5 μL. The data of 26 cancer patients taking apatinib were collected， and their blood concentrations were measured. The correlation between patient’s blood concentration and age， dosage， adverse reactions， and combination therapy were analyzed； the levels of serum kidney injury-related factors [cystatin C （CysC）， kidney injury molecule 1 （KIM-1）， interleukin-18 （IL-18）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）] were determined before and after treatment. RESULTS The linear range of apatinib was 500-2 000 ng/mL， with a precision RSD of 3.7%， stability RSD of 4.9%， and an average sample recovery rate of 96.0% （RSD was 2.1%）. The lowest blood concentration of apatinib was 103 ng/mL and the highest was 1 932 ng/mL among 26 patients. The blood concentration of apatinib in patients showed a fluctuating downward trend with age. At a dosage of 0.125 or 0.25 g， the blood concentration of patients taking apatinib was concentrated within the range of 1 000-2 000 ng/mL. Among 26 cancer patients， 13 experienced adverse reactions， and no adverse reaction was observed in those with blood concentrations ranging from 500 to ＜1 000 ng/mL. Twenty patients were simultaneously treated with other drugs，resulting in varying blood concentration. After treatment， the levels of serum CysC， KIM-1， IL-18 and TNF- α were significantly higher than before treatment （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC method can quickly E-mail：duanxc@ahtcm.edu.cn detect the blood concentration of apatinib. When using apatinib in clinical practice， comprehensive consideration should be given to the patient’s age， drug combination， and the attention should be paid to preventing possible acute kidney damage caused by apatinib.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cytochrome P450 3A5*3(CYP3A5*3)gene polymorphism and adverse reactions of apatinib monotherapy in advanced gastric cancer patients.Methods A total of 86 patients with advanced gastric cancer who received apatinib monotherapy at Nanjing First Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected,and 2 ml of peripheral venous blood from patients was collected.The genotype of CYP3A5*3 was identified using PCR-RFLP combined sequencing method,and its correlation with adverse reactions was analyzed by apatinib.Results Among the 86 patients,there were 29 cases of mutant heterozygous genotype(AG genotype)and 51 cases of mutant homozygous genotype(GG genotype),with a mutation type accounting for 93.02％.The incidence of hypertension and leukopenia in patients with the CYP3A5*3 GG genotype was significantly higher than in patients with the AA+AG genotype(χ2=6.154,6.947,P=0.043,0.027).Other adverse reactions related to apatinib treatment were not found to be associated with the CYP3A5*3 genotype(P＞0.05).In addition,no correlation was found between severe adverse reactions and the CYP3A5*3 genotype(P＞0.05).Conclusion The CYP3A5*3 GG genotype significantly increased the risk of hypertension and leukopenia caused by apatinib monotherapy,and no correlation was found with the risk of serious adverse reactions.
摘要
OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics and regulations of adverse drug reactions （ADR） caused by apatinib， and to provide a reference for the safe use of apatinib in clinic. METHODS Case and group reports on ADR and safety evaluation of apatinib were retrieved from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI， Wanfang medical network， VIP and PubMed since its listing in 2014， literature data were extracted and statistically analyzed after screening. RESULTS Totally 101 cases were included， involving 221 ADR. In the above cases， the male-to-female ratio was 1.24∶1， with the highest proportion of patients aged 51 to 70 years， most of the patients were given a dose of 500 mg or more， and the patients given low dose of apatinib combined with other antitumor drugs were also likely to have ADR. One to two types of adverse reaction were the most common， while the types could reach up to six. Most ADR occurred within 30 days after medication， and the systems/organs involved were mainly the cardiovascular system damage，skin and its accessories damage， gastrointestinal system damage and urinary system damage； the main clinical manifestations were hypertension/aggravation，hand-foot syndrome，abdominal pain diarrhea and albuminuria， etc. Hypertension/aggravation， hand-foot syndrome and myelosuppression were the most common serious ADR. Most ADR could be improved/cured by suspension of administration， dose downregulation and symptomatic treatment. All 4 patients who died had underlying diseases， and their ECOG scores all ≥2 points. Special ADR （such as reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome， psychiatric disorders， and cognitive impairment） were mostly caused by apatinib itself， or may be caused by apatinib in combination with the primary or underlying disease. CONCLUSIONS Advanced age， large dose， combination medication， underlying diseases and poor physical condition might be the high risks for ADR caused by apatinib. It is recommended to monitor the blood pressure，urine protein and skin of hands and feet of all patients with medication on a daily basis，pay attention to the occurrence of special ADR， and timely detect abnormal states and give effective intervention，so as to avoid the aggravation of ADR and other secondary ADR.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of Apatinib combined with Temozolomide (TMZ) on the levels of Soluble PD-1 (sPD-1) and Soluble Programmed Death-1 Ligand (sPD-L1) in patients with drug-resistant recurrent Glioblastoma (GB). Study design A total of 69 patients with recurrent GB from September 2020 to March 2022 were recruited and assigned to the control group (n = 34) and observation group (n = 35) according to different treatment options after tumor recurrence. The control group was treated with TMZ, and the observation group was treated with Apatinib combined with TMZ. Levels of sPD-1 and spd-l1, clinical efficacy, survival time and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. Results General data including gender, age, body mass index, and combined diseases indicated no statistical significance between groups (p > 0.05). Before the intervention, sPD-1 and sPD-L1 levels were not significantly different in the two groups (p > 0.05). After interventions, levels of PD-1 and sPD-L1 levels decreased significantly (p < 0.05). The objective remission rate and clinical benefit rate of the observation group were higher and overall survival and progression-free survival were longer than those of the control group (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in major adverse reactions among patients (p > 0.05). Conclusions Apatinib combined with TMZ is safe and effective in the treatment of recurrent GB. The combined application of the two can reduce the levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1, which has important clinical application value.

Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of camrelizumab added to second-line therapy after drug- eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DTACE) combined with apatinib for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for 89 HCC patients with camrelizumab added to second-line therapy who attended The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2019 to December 2020. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after the application of camrelizumab, and the secondary endpoints were objective remission rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, the Log-rank test was used for stratified analysis of subgroups based on baseline characteristics, and the influencing factors for prognosis were analyzed. Results A total of 89 patients were screened and followed up in this study. The patients were followed up to December 2021, with a median follow-up time of 16 months, a median OS time of 17.0 (95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 15.3-18.7) months, and a median PFS time of 7.0 (95% CI : 6.2-7.8) months. There were significant differences in OS and PFS between the patients with different ECOG-PS scores, liver function Child-Pugh classes, portal vein invasion, patterns of progression, times of DTACE treatment, durations of oral administration of apatinib, and durations of application of camrelizumab (all P 4 months had significant improvements in median OS [21.0 (95% CI : 19.1-22.9) months vs 14.0 (95% CI : 10.4-17.6) months, χ 2 =19.399, P 5 months had significant improvements in median OS [22.0 (95% CI : 20.2-23.8) months vs 13.0 (95% CI : 9.3-16.7) months, χ 2 =22.336, P < 0.001] and PFS [9.0 (95% CI : 7.0-11.0) months vs 5.0 (95% CI : 4.1-5.9) months, χ 2 =26.141, P < 0.001]. Post-embolization syndrome was the adverse event after DTACE and resolved after symptomatic treatment. Adverse reactions related to targeted drugs and immunotherapy all resolved after symptomatic supportive treatment, with no grade ≥4 adverse reactions, and no patients withdrew from target-free therapy due to TRAEs. Conclusion As for DTACE combined with apatinib in the treatment of unresectable HCC, camrelizumab added after progression has a marked therapeutic efficacy with safe and controllable TRAEs.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 19 patients with advanced gastric cancer in Hebei General Hospital from August 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment. The treatment efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated; the survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method; Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the influencing factors for overall survival (OS) of patients.Results:Among 19 patients, no one achieved complete remission, 4 patients (21.1%) achieved partial remission, 9 patients (47.4%) had stable disease. The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 21.1% (4/19) and 68.4% (13/19), respectively. The ORR of patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) was higher than that of patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) [100.0% (2/2) vs. 11.8% (2/17), P < 0.05], and patients with programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 had a higher DCR than patients with PD-L1 CPS < 1 [100.0% (5/5) vs. 25.0% (1/4), P < 0.05]. The median follow-up time of 19 patients was 14.7 months (12.0-17.4 months), the median progression-free survival time and OS time were 2.8 months and 5.7 months (95% CI 2.4-8.9 months). Increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was negatively correlated with OS ( χ2 = 10.262, P = 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that LDH was an independent influencing factor for the OS of patients (<250 U/L vs. ≥250 U/L: HR = 0.149, 95% CI 0.039-0.657, P = 0.005). The most common treatment-related adverse reactions were fatigue (52.6%, 10 cases), anemia (47.4%, 9 cases), thrombocytopenia (36.8%, 7 cases), rash (36.8%, 7 cases), and reactive capillary hemangioma (36.8%, 7 cases). Conclusions:Camrelizumab combined with apatinib as the second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer have good efficacy and safety.

Objective:To investigate the effect of apatinib and fluzoparib on the proliferation ability of cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cells.Methods:Human ovarian cancer cells SKOV3 and cisplatin-resistant SKOV3/DDP cells of human ovarian cancer were treated with different concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128 μg/ml cisplatin at different times; CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation rate and half-inhibitory concentration ( IC50) of SKOV3 and SKOV3/DDP cells, and the drug-resistance fold of SKOV3/DDP cell was also calculated. SKOV3/DDP cells were treated with different concentrations of apatinib (4, 8, 16, 32, 64 μmol/L) and fluzoparib (148.15, 222.22, 333.33, 500.00, 750.00 μmol/L) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively; the cell proliferation rate was determined by using CCK-8 method and IC50 was calculated. SKOV3/DDP cells were divided into the blank control group (cells untreated with drugs), cisplatin group, cisplatin + apatinib group, cisplatin + fluzoparib group, cisplatin + fluzoparib + apatinib group, and drug intervention was given in each group; the inhibition rate of cells in each group was detected by using CCK8 method. Results:The proliferation rate of SKOV3 cells treated with the same concentration of cisplatin for the same time was lower than that of SKOV3/DDP cells, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The IC50 of SKOV3/DDP cells treated with 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 μmol/L apatinib was 742.1μmol/L at 24 h, 156.8 μmol/L at 48 h, and 77.5 μmol/L at 72 h. Compared with the control group, the proliferation rate of SKOV3/DDP cells treated with apatinib at an effective concentration greater than 32 μmol/L was significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The IC50 of SKOV3/DDP cells treated with 148.15, 222.22, 333.33, 500.00, 750.00 μmol/L fluzoparib was 878.5 μmol/L at 24 h, 406.7 μmol/L at 48 h, and 283.3μmol/L at 72 h. When the effective concentration of fluzoparib was more than 333.33 μmol/L for 24 h, the proliferation rate of SKOV3/DDP cells was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferation rate of SKOV3/DDP cells was decreased when the effective concentration was more than 148.15 μmol/L at 48 h and 72 h, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The cell proliferation rate of 5 μg/ml cisplatin + 64 μmol/L apatinib group was lower than that of 5 μg/ml cisplatin group [(40.4±1.4)% vs. (62.7±1.4)%, t = 20.22, P < 0.001]. The cell proliferation rate of 5 μg/ml cisplatin + 290 μmol/L fluzoparib group was lower than that of 5 μg/ml cisplatin group [(5.2±0.4)% vs. (62.7±1.4)%, t = 52.04, P < 0.001]. The cell proliferation rate of 5 μg/ml cisplatin + 64 μmol/L apatinib + 290 μmol/L fluzoparib group was lower than that of 5 μg/ml cisplatin group [(0.3±0.8)% vs. (62.7±1.4)%, t = 53.98, P < 0.001]. The 5 μg/ml cisplatin + 64 μmol/L apatinib + 290 μmol/L fluzoparib group had the lowest proliferation rate of SKOV3/DDP cells, which was lower than that of 5μg/ml cisplatin + 64 μmol/L apatinib group and 5 μg/ml cisplatin + 290 μmol/L fluzoparib group (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:Apatinib and fluzoparib can enhance the sensitivity of human ovarian cancer cisplatin-resistant cells SKOV3/DDP to cisplatin, and the combination of drugs can produce the stronger inhibitory effects and reverse cisplatin resistance of ovarian cancer.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of apatinib combined with first-line chemotherapy and maintenance therapy of only apatinib in patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 56 newly diagnosed patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer in the Fifth People′s Hospital of Dalian City from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 27 patients (experimental group) were treated with first-line chemotherapy combined with apatinib, and 29 patients (control group) were treated with first-line chemotherapy alone. In experimental group, the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 1 day before chemotherapy and 1 day after chemotherapy were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay method. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) was used to evaluate the efficacy. The occurrence of adverse reaction was recorded. The patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months, and progression-free survival and 1-year survival were recorded.Results:The objective response rate, median progression-free survival time and 1-year survival rate in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group: 81.5% (22/27) vs. 55.2% (16/29), 10.5 months vs. 8.5 months and 81.5% (22/27) vs. 55.2% (16/29), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in disease control rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In experimental group, the patients with complete response and partial response after chemotherapy were classified as effective subgroup (22 cases), and the patients with stationary disease and progressive disease were classified as ineffective subgroup (5 cases). There were no statistical difference in VEGF and VEGFR-2 before chemotherapy between 2 subgroups ( P>0.05). The VEGF and VEGFR-2 in effective subgroup were significantly lower than those in ineffective subgroup: (275.34 ± 16.15) ng/L vs. (330.24 ± 23.21) ng/L and (89.35 ± 4.34) ng/L vs. (112.34 ± 5.45) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). There were no uncontrollable adverse reactions in 2 groups, and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Application of apatinib in first-line therapy and maintenance therapy for patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer can improve clinical efficacy and survival benefit with controllable adverse reactions.
摘要
Ovarian cancer (OC) has the highest mortality rate among gynecological malignancies. Its treatment has always been a difficult problem and the focus of exploration in the medical field. In recent years, anti-angiogenic drugs have shown good anticancer effects in the treatment of ovarian cancer. As a new generation of antiangiogenic drugs, apatinib has been proved to have a good therapeutic effect in the treatment of ovarian cancer with less adverse reactions. Therefore, we review the research progress of apatinib in ovarian cancer.
摘要
Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor. As the first-generation oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor independently developed in China, apatinib can block many kinds of signaling pathways with high selectivity, and play an anti-tumor effect by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, and the adverse reactions are controllable. More and more studies have shown that apatinib can be used for the second-line and beyond treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. This article reviews the mechanisms and clinical studies of apatinib in treatment of lung cancer.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of continuous dosing or alternate-day dosing of apatinib combined with SOX regimen as first-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 52 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative and inoperable locally advanced or advanced gastric cancer who were pathologically diagnosed from January 2018 to January 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University were collected. The patients were divided into continuous dosing group and alternate-day dosing group by random number table method. The continuous dosing group received apatinib (250 mg, once a day) combined with SOX regimen (S-1+oxaliplatin); the alternate-day dosing group received apatinib (250 mg, once every other day) combined with SOX regimen. Twenty-one days were a cycle, and the efficacy was evaluated after 2 cycles. After 4-6 cycles, patients with stable disease received apatinib and S-1 for maintenance therapy. The therapeutic effects and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results:The curative effect could be evaluated in 51 patients, including 26 in the continuous dosing group and 25 in the alternate-day dosing group. The disease control rates in the continuous dosing group and the alternate-day dosing group were 84.6% (22/26) and 76.0% (19/25) ( χ2 = 0.60, P = 0.499), and the median progression-free survival time was 7.50 months (95% CI 6.17-8.83 months) and 8.30 months (95% CI 6.99-9.61 months) ( χ2 = 0.71, P = 0.401), and the median overall survival time was 15.50 months (95% CI 11.30-19.69 months) and 15.60 months (95% CI 13.63-17.57 months) ( χ2 = 1.82, P = 0.177). The main adverse reactions in the two groups were leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hand-foot syndrome, proteinuria, liver and kidney damage. The incidence rates of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions in the continuous dosing group and the alternate-day dosing group were 42.3% (11/26) and 12.0% (3/25), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.46, P = 0.035). Conclusions:The efficacy of continuous dosing or alternate-day dosing of apatinib combined with SOX regimen as first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer is similar, but the incidence of ≥grade 3 adverse reactions in alternate-day dosing group is lower, which improves the compliance and tolerance of patients.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of sindilizumab combined with apatinib in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced recurrent and metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:A total of 74 elderly patients with recurrent and metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who were admitted to Xuancheng City Central Hospital from March 2019 to August 2020 were selected, and they were divided into study group and control group by random number table method, with 37 cases in each group. The control group was treated with apatinib mesylate, and the study group was treated with sindilizumab combined with apatinib mesylate. All patients were treated for 2 cycles and followed up for 1 year. The efficacy, peripheral blood tumor marker levels, adverse reactions and survival were compared between the two groups.Results:The objective response rate and clinical control rate in the study group were higher than those in the control group [35.1% (13/37) vs. 13.5% (5/37), 67.6% (25/37) vs. 43.2% (16/37)], and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.70, P = 0.030; χ2 = 4.43, P = 0.035). After treatment, the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma-associated antigen (SCC-Ag) and cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment (all P < 0.05); the levels of CEA, SCC-Ag and CYFRA21-1 in the study group were lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). There were no differences in the incidence rates of fatigue, proteinuria, bone marrow suppression, and hand-foot syndrome between the two groups (all P > 0.05). After 1 year of follow-up, 20 patients in the study group survived, and the 1-year overall survival (OS) rate was 54.1%; 10 patients in the control group survived, and the 1-year OS rate was 28.6%; the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.06, P = 0.044). Conclusions:Sintilimab combined with apatinib has a good efficacy in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced recurrent and metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This regimen can reduce the levels of tumor markers, improve the short-term survival rate of patients, and has good safety.

Objective:To verify the transforming therapeutic efficacy of apatinib combined with oxaliplatin + tegiol (SOX regimen) in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis.Methods:Using the method of descriptive case series study, the data of gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis treated in Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital and Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from March 2016 to August 2021 were collected and treated with apatinib combined with SOX regimen. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m 2, intravenous drip, day 1; Apatinib mesylate tablets 500 mg/d, oral, once a day, 1-21 days; Teggio: calculate the dosage according to the body surface area (<1.25 m 2, 40 mg; 1.25-1.50 m 2, 50 mg; >1.50 m 2, 60 mg). Take it orally for 1-14 days, twice a day. From the first day of chemotherapy, a cycle of 3 weeks. The short-term efficacy was evaluated every 2 cycles. After that, the multidisciplinary treatment team will decide whether the conversion operation can be accepted. When the requirements of surgical resection were met, the operation will be carried out after 1 cycle of drug withdrawal. Results:The median survival time (MST) of 23 patients was 14.1 months (95% CI: 12.3-16.4); The median overall survival (OS) after transformation therapy was 19.1 months (95% CI: 15.5-22.8). After transformation therapy, 14 cases of partial remission (PR), 3 cases of stable disease (SD) and 6 cases of progression disease (PD) in 23 patients, and the objective remission rate (ORR) was 73.9%(17/23). 12(52.2%) patients underwent surgery after transformation therapy. The 1-year OS of 12 patients was (17.0±1.5)months; Among them, 5 cases underwent R0 resection, and the R0 resection rate was 5/12. Conclusions:Transformation treatment with apatinib combined with oxaliplatin + tegio (SOX regimen) in advanced gastric cancer can achieve a high R0 resection rate with better conversion effect.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in combination with chemoradiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).Methods:37 patients orally received apatinib at 250 mg/d during concurrent chemoradiotherapy until completion of radiotherapy, complete remission assessed by imaging examination, the onset of unacceptable toxicity or death. Baseline characteristics, objective response rates (ORR) and adverse events were assessed in all enrolled patients with complete baseline and safety data. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were statistically identified using Cox regression models.Results:The ORR was 85%(95% CI: 72%-98%). The median PFS was 17.9 months and the 2-year OS rate was 62%(95% CI: 48%-80%). Ineffective short-term efficacy ( HR=0.035, 995% CI: 0.02-0.652, P=0.025) was an independent risk factor for poor OS. In addition, ineffective short-term efficacy ( HR=0.104, 95% CI: 0.017-0.633, P=0.014) and lymphocytopenia ( HR=17.539, 95% CI: 2.040-150.779, P=0.009) were independent risk factors for poor PFS. Common adverse events (>60%) included lymphocytopenia (76%), leukopenia (68%) and irradiation-induced mucosal injury (65%). The most common treatment-associated grade 3 adverse event was lymphopenia (49%). Conclusions:Apatinib combined with chemoradiotherapy yield significant anti-tumor activity for HNSCC with controllable toxicity. For patients with advanced HNSCC, short-term efficacy and lymphocytopenia may be potential predictors for clinical efficacy of apatinib combined with chemoradiotherapy.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of different doses of apatinib combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the adverse reactions.Methods:A total of 69 patients with NSCLC diagnosed in the No. 901 Hospital of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force were selected from January 2018 to June 2020, and were divided into chemotherapy alone group (docetaxel+ cisplatin was used), apatinib group A [apatinib (0.25 g)+ docetaxel+ cisplatin was used] and apatinib group B [apatinib (0.50 g)+ docetaxel+ cisplatin was used] according to random number table method, with 23 cases in each group. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median overall survival (OS), median progression-free survival (PFS), and incidences of adverse reactions were compared between the three groups of patients.Results:One patients in the apatinib group B withdrew from the study due to acute myocardial infarction. After 4 cycless of treatment, the ORR of the patients in the chemotherapy alone group, apatinib group A and apatinib group B were 17.39% (4/23), 47.83% (11/23) and 54.55% (12/22) respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=7.41, P=0.024). The ORR of the apatinib group B was higher than that of the chemotherapy alone group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=6.77, P=0.009). There were no statistically significant differences in ORR between the apatinib group A and chemotherapy alone group, the apatinib group A and apatinib group B ( χ2=4.85, P=0.028; χ2=0.20, P=0.652). The DCR of the patients in the three groups were 47.83% (11/23), 78.26% (18/23) and 86.36% (19/22) respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=9.03, P=0.011). The DCR of the apatinib group B was higher than that of the chemotherapy alone group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=7.52, P=0.006). There were no statistically significant differences in DCR between the apatinib group A and the chemotherapy alone group, the apatinib group A and apatinib group B ( χ2=4.57, P=0.033; χ2=0.51, P=0.477). The median OS of the patients in the three groups were 6.8, 9.2 and 9.9 months respectively, with a statistically significant different ( χ2=8.91, P=0.022). Compared with the chemotherapy alone group, the median OS of the apatinib group A and apatinib group B were significantly prolonged, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=7.25, P=0.036; χ2=8.60, P=0.029). Compared with the apatinib group A, the median OS of the apatinib group B was prolonged, but there was no statistically significant different ( χ2=1.54, P=0.201). The median PFS of the patients in the three groups were 5.2, 7.7 and 8.2 months respectively, with a statistically significant different ( χ2=8.79, P=0.026). Compared with the chemotherapy alone group, the median PFS of the apatinib group A and apatinib group B were significantly prolonged, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=7.01, P=0.039; χ2=8.36, P=0.031). Compared with the apatinib A group, the median PFS of the apatinib group B was prolonged, but there was no statistically significant different ( χ2=1.68, P=0.186). There were statistically significant differences in the incidences of fatigue [34.78% (8/23) vs. 65.22% (15/23) vs. 72.73% (16/22), χ2=7.50, P=0.024], hypertension [4.35% (1/23) vs. 34.78% (8/23) vs. 68.18% (15/22), χ2=20.07, P<0.001], hand-foot syndrome [4.35% (1/23) vs. 43.48% (10/23) vs. 72.73% (16/22), χ2=22.28, P<0.001] and oral mucositis [8.70% (2/23) vs. 39.13% (9/23) vs. 72.73% (16/22), χ2=19.26, P<0.001] among the three groups. Compared with the chemotherapy alone group, the incidences of hypertension and hand-foot syndrome in the apatinib group A and the incidences of fatigue, hypertension, hand-foot syndrome and oral mucositis in the apatinib group B were increased, with statistically significant differences ( χ2=6.77, P=0.009; χ2=9.68, P=0.002; χ2=6.51, P=0.011; χ2=20.00, P<0.001; χ2=22.37, P<0.001; χ2=19.21, P<0.001). Conclusion:Apatinib (0.50 g) combined with chemotherapy has better short-term efficacy than chemotherapy alone in advanced NSCLC. Apatinib (0.25 g) and apatinib (0.50 g) can prolong the survival of patients, but increasing the treatment dose can not achieve longer survival benefit.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of the camrelizumab combined with apatinib and chemotherapy as second-line or later therapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative advanced gastric cancer.Methods:A total of 66 patients with HER-2 negative advanced gastric cancer and first-line treatment failure in Shandong Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from March 2018 to September 2021 were selected. They were divided into study group ( n=22) and control group ( n=44) according to the different treatment regimens. The patients in the study group were treated with camrelizumab combined with apatinib and chemotherapy, and the patients in the control group were treated with chemotherapy alone. The short-term efficacy, progression-free survival (PFS) , overall survival (OS) and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis. Results:After at least 2-4 cycles of treatment, the ORR in the study group and the control group were 9.1% (2/22) and 0 (0/44) respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P=0.108) . DCR in the two groups were 77.3% (17/22) and 45.5% (20/44) respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=6.03, P=0.014) . The study group didn’t reach median OS and the median OS in the control group was 11.7 months, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.59, P=0.207) . The study group didn’t reach median PFS and the median PFS in the control group was 3.2 months, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=10.13, P=0.001) . Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that treatment method was an independent influencing factor for PFS in patients with HER-2 negative advanced gastric cancer ( HR=0.33, 95% CI: 0.15-0.75, P=0.008) . In terms of adverse reactions, there was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of elevated alanine aminotransferase between the study group and the control group [31.8% (7/22) vs. 6.8% (3/44) , χ2=5.32, P=0.021]. There were no adverse-related deaths in both groups. Conclusion:Compared with chemotherapy alone, camrelizumab combined with apatinib and chemotherapy as a second-line or later therapy in HER-2 negative advanced gastric cancer can prolong PFS and improve DCR, but the incidence of elevated alanine aminotransferase increases significantly.
