Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Anlotinib as Maintenance for NSCLC With Small Cell Transformation After EGFR-TKI Resistance

This prospective interventional clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of third-generation EGFR-TKI combined with anlotinib as maintenance therapy following 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC who developed small cell transformation after EGFR-TKI resistance.Approximately 30 non-small cell lung cancer patients who developed small cell transformation after EGFR-TKI resistance were enrolled and treated with 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy followed by maintenance therapy with third-generation EGFR-TKI combined with anlotinib.The study is expected to commence recruitment in mainland China in about November 2024. It is expected that the trial will end in December 2026.
