Abstract

Dual blockade of both EGFR and VEGFR pathways in EGFR-mutant NSCLC has shown enhanced antitumor efficacy versus EGFR-TKIs alone. Apatinib is an orally effective VEGFR-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Previous studies have shown that apatinib (a TKI against VEGFR-2) combined with EGFR-TKI might prevent progression of the disease. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus EGFR-TKIs compared with chemotherapy for EGFR-TKI resistant NSCLC patients.
