Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with metastatic or relapsed advanced NSCLC who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have not undergone previous systemic therapies or those with early-stage lung cancer may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Vorolanib as a monotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have already undergone at least two lines of systemic therapy. It is a single-arm, prospective Phase II trial involving 32 participants who will receive 300 mg of Vorolanib daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. The primary goal is to assess the 6-month progression-free survival rate, while secondary objectives include overall survival and safety assessments. This research aims to broaden the clinical applications of Vorolanib in treating NSCLC.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced NSCLC who have limited treatment choices.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar approaches in treating advanced NSCLC, but the specific use of Vorolanib as a monotherapy in this context is less common.

9. Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use contraception (e.g., intrauterine device, contraceptives, or condoms) during the study and for 6 months after the study ends; must not be breastfeeding and must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment. Male patients must agree to use contraception during the study and for 6 months after the study ends
10. Patients with well-controlled pleural or peritoneal effusions that do not cause grade 2 or higher respiratory syndrome (≥ CTCAE grade 2) can be included
11. Patients without clinical symptoms of intracranial hypertension caused by brain metastases or with brain metastasis symptoms that are stable after prior treatment (radiation therapy or surgery) of brain or meningeal metastasis (usually requiring more than 4 weeks post-radiation therapy)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previously failed treatment with multi-target anti-angiogenic drugs, such as anlotinib, cabozantinib, apatinib, lenvatinib, etc. The use of bevacizumab is allowed, but the last administration must be more than 3 weeks before enrollment
2. Small cell lung cancer (including small cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer mixed with other types of tumors)
3. Testing positive for driver genes but not treated with TKIs
4. Tumor invasion of large blood vessels, central squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with cavitation, or non-small cell lung cancer with hemoptysis (\>5ml/day), or where the tumor is likely to invade important blood vessels and cause fatal bleeding during the subsequent study period
5. Accompanied by other types of malignant tumors within the past 5 years or currently
6. Planning to receive systemic anti-tumor therapy within 4 weeks before enrollment or during the study period, including cytotoxic therapy, signal transduction inhibitors, and immunotherapy (or mitomycin C within 6 weeks before receiving experimental drug therapy); received extended-field radiation therapy (EF-RT) within 4 weeks before enrollment or limited-field radiation therapy within 2 weeks before enrollment with evaluation of lesions recommended
7. Unremitting toxic reactions caused by previous treatment, CTCAE grade \>1, excluding hair loss
8. Various factors affecting oral medication (such as inability to swallow, gastrointestinal resection, chronic diarrhea, bowel obstruction)
9. Pleural effusion or ascites leading to respiratory syndrome (≥CTCAE grade 2)
10. Symptoms of brain metastasis not controlled and treated within 2 months
11. Presence of any severe or uncontrolled disease
12. Major surgery, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days before enrollment
13. Bleeding diathesis or history of significant bleeding, regardless of severity; any wound, ulcer, or fracture that has not healed following a bleeding or bleeding event (≥CTCAE grade 3)
14. Arterial/venous thrombosis within 6 months, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism
15. History of substance abuse that cannot be quit or diagnosed with psychiatric disorders
16. Participated in other clinical trials of anti-tumor drugs within 4 weeks
