Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Objective Response Rate(ORR)

Objective tumor response was defined as the proportion of patients whose tumor volume has been reduced to a predetermined value and can be maintained for more than 4 weeks, ie ORR=CR+PR.

Time frame: Approximately 24 months.

Secondary Outcomes

Duration of Response(DoR)

Duration of response was defined as the time when the tumor is first evaluated as CR or PR to the first assessment for PD or for any cause of death.

Time frame: Approximately 24 months.

Disease Control Rate(DCR)

Disease control rate was defined as the proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or disease stabilization (SD) in the analyzed population according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Time frame: Approximately 24 months.

Time to Objective Response(TTR)

Time to objective response was defined as the time from the start of treatment to the first objective tumor remission (CR or PR).

Time frame: Approximately 24 months.

Progression Free Survival(PFS)

Progression-free survival was defined as the duration of time from study entry to time of progression, death, or the date of last contact, whichever occurs first.

Time frame: Approximately 24 months.

Overall Survival(OS)

Overall survival is defined as the duration of time from study entry to time of death or the date of last contact.

Time frame: Approximately 48 months.

Overall Survival Rate at 12 months

Overall survival rate at 12 months was defined as the proportion of patients who were still alive in 12 months.

Time frame: Approximately 12 months.

Phase II trial of efficacy, safety and biomarker analysis of sintilimab plus anlotinib for patients with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer

Background Although co-inhibition of the angiogenesis and programmed death 1 (PD-1) pathways is proposed as an effective anticancer strategy, studies in Chinese patients with endometrial cancer are sufficient. Anlotinib is an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor affecting tumor angiogenesis and proliferation; sintilimab is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. Methods This was a phase II trial using Simon’s two-stage design. This study enrolled patients with endometrial cancer who had progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. Sintilimab 200 mg was administered intravenously on day 1 every 3 weeks, and anlotinib 12 mg was administered on days 1–14 in a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) using the immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria. Immunohistochemistry and whole-exome sequencing were used as correlative investigations. Results Between November 2019 and September 2020, 23 eligible patients were enrolled. The ORR and disease control rates were 73.9% (95% CI, 51.6 to 89.8) and 91.3% (95% CI, 72.0 to 98.9), respectively, with 4 complete and 12 partial responses. With a median follow-up of 15.4 months (95% CI, 12.6 to 18.3), the median progression-free survival was not reached, and the probability of PFS &gt;12 months was 57.1% (95% CI, 33.6 to 75.0). Exploratory analysis revealed that mutations in the homologous repair pathway showed a trend for higher ORR (100% vs 0%, p=0.07). Treatment-related grade 3/4 adverse events were observed in 50.0% of the patients. Conclusions Sintilimab plus anlotinib demonstrated robust therapeutic benefits with tolerable toxicity in endometrial cancer. Trial registration number NCT04157491.
