SRT Combined With Anlotinib for the Treatment of Brain Metastases From Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Prior treatment

• Squamous cell carcinoma patients (including adenosquamous carcinoma patients) should be excluded under the following conditions:
  • ① Cavitary lung cancer.
  • ② Patients who have had hemoptysis within the last month before the first dose and with a maximum daily hemoptysis of ≥2.5 mL, as well as other significant clinically relevant bleeding symptoms or those with a clear bleeding tendency combined with diseases/history.
• Individuals with various factors that affect oral medication (such as dysphagia, gastrointestinal resection, chronic diarrhea, and intestinal obstruction).
• Within the 4 weeks before the initial dose, the presence of unhealed wounds, fractures, active ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, ulcerative colitis, or active bleeding from unresected tumors, or conditions judged by the investigator to potentially cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation; or patients who have undergone major surgeries (excluding vascular access surgery).
• Receipt of traditional Chinese medicine listed in the NMPA-approved drug instructions, which explicitly have indications for anti-tumor and lung cancer treatment (including compound Bupleurum capsules, Kangai injection, Conlear capsules/injections, Edaravone injections, Yadanzi oil injections/capsules, Xiaocanping tablets/injections, HuaChanSu capsules), or immune modulating drugs (excluding local use for pleural effusion control) within 2 weeks before the initial dose.

Other illness

• Patients with diffuse pleural metastases, malignant pericardial effusion, or diffuse spinal cord involvement.
• Patients with a history of other malignancies within 5 years (excluding cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, prostate intraepithelial neoplasia, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia).
• History of organ or hematologic system transplantation.

Lab values

• Evidence of active bleeding, or unexplained persistent decrease in hemoglobin. Screening/enrollment should be postponed until bleeding stops and the investigator deems it safe.
• Within the first 4 weeks before the initial dose, occurrence of any bleeding or hemorrhagic event ≥ Grade 3 according to CTCAE 5.0 standards; use of anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin, heparin, or similar agents for treatment; under the condition that prothrombin time international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5, allowing the use of low-dose warfarin for prophylactic purposes (≤ 1mg/d), low-dose heparin (≤ 12,000 U/d), or low-dose aspirin (≤ 100mg/d).
• Patients with severe and/or uncontrolled diseases, including:
  • Patients with poorly controlled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure ≥150 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90mmHg);
  • Occurrence of thrombotic events, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction within 6 months of the first dose, congestive heart failure of Grade ≥2, or requiring treatment for arrhythmias (including QTc ≥480ms);
  • Active or uncontrolled severe infections (grade ≥ 2 infection according to CTCAE 5.0), tuberculosis patients; ④ Known clinically significant liver disease history, including viral hepatitis, active HBV infection must be excluded for carriers of known hepatitis B virus (HBV) through positive HBV DNA (\>2500 copies/mL or \>500 IU/mL); known HCV infection and positive HCV RNA (\>1×10\^3 copies/mL), or other decompensated liver disease, chronic hepatitis requiring antiviral therapy; ⑤ Positive HIV test, positive rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test for syphilis; ⑥ Poorly controlled diabetes (fasting blood glucose ≥10mmol/L); ⑦ Urinalysis showing urinary protein ≥++, with confirmed 24-hour urinary protein quantification \>1.0 g;
• According to the judgment of the principal investigator, patients with other factors that may lead to the forced termination of this study, such as other serious illnesses (including mental illness) requiring combined treatment, significant laboratory abnormalities, family or social factors affecting patient safety, or data and sample collection.

Other

• Current presence of pulmonary pneumonia with CTCAE 5.0 grade ≥ 2.
• Presence of clinically active diverticulitis, abdominal abscess, gastrointestinal obstruction.

• Patients voluntarily participate in this study, sign informed consent, and demonstrate good compliance.
• Patients with histologically or pathologically confirmed EGFR wild-type and EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer resistant to treatment.
• The number of brain metastases is ≤ 5, and the patient has at least one assessable brain metastasis on imaging (RECIST 1.1). Additionally, the patient's physical condition allows for the completion of stereotactic radiosurgery.
• Age between 18-80 years, gender unspecified.
• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1; expected survival of no less than 3 months.
• Regardless of prior treatment, it is only required that concurrent oral administration of anlotinib during radiotherapy without intervention regarding subsequent treatment regimens.
• Oral administration of anlotinib including, but not limited to, third-line therapy.
• Good function of major organs, with laboratory test indicators meeting the following criteria:
  • <!-- -->
• Hematological examination:
  • Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90g/L (no blood transfusion within 14 days);
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5×10\^9/L; total white blood cell count ≥ 3.5×10\^9/L;
  • Platelets (PLT) ≥ 100×10\^9/L;
• Blood biochemistry examination:
  • a、Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for liver metastasis/bone metastasis; ≤ 5 ULN for tumor bone metastasis); b、Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; c、Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min;
• Coagulation function examination: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international normalized ratio (INR), prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5×ULN.
