Anlotinib with Anthracyclines Improves Outcomes in Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Okay,⁣ here’s a breakdown of the provided text, focusing on the key details about ⁢the study and its findings. ⁣I’ll organize it for clarity:

Study Overview

* Focus: Evaluating the combination of anlotinib⁤ (a tyrosine kinase⁣ inhibitor) with‍ chemotherapy (anthracyclines and ifosfamide) for advanced⁢ soft tissue sarcoma (STS).
* ‍ Patient Population: 52 patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic high-grade STS. Mean age was 49.1 years.
* Treatment Regimen:

* ⁣ Anlotinib: 12 mg⁢ orally daily for 14 days per cycle.
* Anthracycline: Either 40mg epirubicin (days 1 & 2) or 30mg liposomal doxorubicin (day 1) ⁣- IV.
⁤ * ⁢ Ifosfamide: 2g IV on ‍days 1-3.
* Cycles: 4-6 ⁢cycles, repeated every 21 days.
* Monitoring period: December 2021 – June 2024.

Key Findings (Compared ⁤to Previous Trials)

* Comparison to SAINT Study (Phase 2): The study builds on findings from phase 2 of the SAINT study (NCT03138161), which assessed trabectedin plus⁤ ipilimumab and nivolumab.
* SAINT Study Results: The SAINT study showed encouraging safety and efficacy⁤ with an Objective Response Rate⁤ (ORR) of 24.7% and a Disease Control Rate (DCR) of 82.5%.
*⁢ Implication: The findings suggest that combining targeted/immune inhibitors⁢ with chemotherapy may improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall prognosis in advanced STS.

Outcomes Measured

* ⁣ Objective Response Rate (ORR)
* Disease Control rate (DCR)
*⁢ Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
* ⁤ Overall Survival⁤ (OS)
* Treatment-related adverse events.
