  Purpose

Apatinib is a new kind of Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The investigators have finished the preclinical and phase I and phase II clinical study for apatinib and found its satisfactory anti-tumor activity and tolerated toxicities. A disease-control rate of 75% was found in lung cancer patients. In the present phase III trial, the investigators will further evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of apatinib in the treatment of advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Progression-free survival as the time from randomization to documented disease progression according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) or death.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Objective Response Rate(ORR) [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    ORR was the percentage of patients who got partial or complete response

  • Overall Survival(OS) [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    OS was determined from date of enrollment until death or the date the patient was recorded alive of last follow-up

  • Toxicity [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Adverse events (AEs) were recorded, graded for toxicity using the NCI-CTC, and assessed by the investigator for any relationship with treatment.
