Abstract
5524 Background: It is difficult for patients with recurrent advanced cervical cancer to obtain clinical benefits after the failure of standard chemotherapy. However, antiangiogenic therapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors have become a promising strategy for advanced cervical cancer. Anlotinib is a novel multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibiting tumour angiogenesis and proliferative signalling. Sintilimab is a fully humanized, high-affinity monoclonal antibody against programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). This phase II, single-arm study (ChiCTR1900023015) aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus sintilimab in patients with recurrent advanced cervical cancer. Methods: Patients who have received at least once platinum-based chemotherapy, histopathologically confirmed recurrent advanced cervical cancer (including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous carcinoma), more than 1% PD-L1 expression, ECOG 0-1 were considered eligible for enrollment. Anlotinib was taken orally (10mg mg qd, d1-14, 21 days per cycle), and sintilimab was administered intravenously (200mg once every 3 weeks). The treatment was continued until disease progression, death or intolerant toxicity. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) and the secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety. Results: Between September 2019 and February 2021, 42 patients with a median age of 52 years (range:47-58), FIGO histopathological stage I (11.9%), II (31.0%), III (33.3%), IV (9.5%) and undiagnosed (14.3%) were enrolled. 39 of these patients were evaluable. In the efficacy-evaluable population (n = 39), the therapeutic evaluation showed that 2 and 20 patients achieved complete response and partial response respectively, yielding the ORR of 56.4% (22/39, 95% CI:40.2 to 71.5). The DCR was 94.9% (37/39, 95% CI:80.7 to 98.8). The median response time was 1.6 months. The median PFS was not reached. The most common adverse events (AEs) were grade 1 or 2, which included hypothyroidism (33.3%), hypertension (23.8%), AST (21.4%), diarrhea (19.0%), ALT (16.7%), hand-foot syndrome(14.3%), hypertriglyceridemia (14.3%) and anemia (11.9%). The grade 3 AEs were hypertension (4.8%), hyponatremia (4.8%), immune pneumonia (2.4%) and immune myocarditis (2.4%). No higher AEs and treatment-related death were observed. Conclusions: Anlotinib plus sintilimab showed a promising efficacy with a favorable toxicity profile for patients with recurrent advanced cervical cancer. We will report more data in the future.
