A Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Anlotinib for Neoadjuvant Treatment of PPGL
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies the effectiveness of anlotinib hydrochloride in the neoadjuvant therapy of locally advanced, or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paragangliom(PPGL). Anrotinib is used preoperatively in order to change unresectable tumors to resectable and reduce the high risk of surgery.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This prospective, single arm phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy with anlotinib hydrochloride in locally advanced,or unresectable PPGL patients. Locally advanced,or unresectable PPGL patients receive anlotinib hydrochloride(10-12mg orally once daily on days 1-14, courses repeat every 21 days). Imaging examinations will be conducted after 4 courses to re-evaluate the surgical possibility. If the patient's tumor shrinks after 4 courses but is still unresectable, the patients will continue antirotinib therapy for another 4 courses.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
The proportion of patients whose PPGL change from unresectable to resectable tumor.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
To determine the objective response rate (ORR) . To determine the ratio of tumor shrinkage. To determine the biochemical response . To determine the R0 resection rate. To determine the Major pathological response rate (MPR). To determine the pathologic complete remission（pCR). To assess the safety of anlotinib treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The proportion of PPGL patients whose tumor change from unresectable to resectable tumor. [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
The proportion of PPGL patients whose tumor change from unresectable to resectable
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The objective response rate (ORR) [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
Determined by the RECIST 1.1 criteria
- The ratio of tumor shrinkage [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
The proportion of decrease in the sum of total size of the target lesions after treatment compared to before treatment.
- The biochemical response. [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
An effective response of 24hCA, MNs meant that the concentration decreaseed by more than 40% than the baseline value or decreaseed to the normal range.
- R0 resection rate. [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
The proportion of patients with surgical resection reached R0 resection
- Major pathological response rate (MPR). [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
Defined as the remaining surviving tumor after surgical resection do not exceed 10% of the initial tumor tissue.
- Pathologic complete remission (pCR). [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)]
There is no tumor cells microscopically.
- Safety of anlotinib treatment. [At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)]
Incidence of adverse events assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
