Our aim was to describe our experience in using apatinib as treatment for radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid carcinoma (RAIR-DTC).
Forty-seven patients undergoing apatinib treatment for RAIR-DTC were prospectively enrolled in this study. The study endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and rate of adverse events.
No patients achieved complete response, while 36 (76.6%) and 8 (17.0%) patients achieved partial response and stable disease, respectively. The ORR and DCR were 76.6% and 93.6%, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 18 and 59 months, respectively. A total of 91 adverse events occurred, of which 21 were graded as grade 3 or higher. There were no drug-related deaths.
Apatinib has distinct anti-RAIR-DTC efficacy in terms of ORR, PFS, and OS and has a favorable safety profile. It is a feasible treatment option for RAIR-DTC.
我们旨在描述使用阿帕替尼治疗放射性碘难治性分化型甲状腺癌(RAIR-DTC)的经验。
本研究前瞻性纳入了 47 例接受阿帕替尼治疗的 RAIR-DTC 患者。研究终点为客观缓解率(ORR)、疾病控制率(DCR)、无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)和不良事件发生率。
无患者达到完全缓解,而 36 例(76.6%)和 8 例(17.0%)患者分别达到部分缓解和疾病稳定。ORR 和 DCR 分别为 76.6%和 93.6%。中位 PFS 和 OS 分别为 18 个月和 59 个月。共发生 91 例不良事件,其中 21 例为 3 级或更高。无药物相关死亡。
阿帕替尼在 ORR、PFS 和 OS 方面具有明显的抗 RAIR-DTC 疗效,且安全性良好。它是 RAIR-DTC 的一种可行的治疗选择。
