Association of TP53 Mutations with Response to Anlotinib Treatment in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Multitargeted antiangiogenic drugs have demonstrated significant antitumor activity against a variety of solid tumors. Anlotinib, a novel oral multitargeted antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor, was approved as a third-line treatment for advanced NSCLC in China. However, predictive biomarkers are currently insufficient and are urgently required. Herein, we report three pre-treated cases of advanced NSCLC with TP53 mutations, wherein these patients showed partial response to anlotinib. Moreover, the three patients have achieved a progression-free survival of 8, 6.5, and 5 months, respectively. The main toxicities were hypertension, hand-foot syndrome and fatigue. In conclusion, TP53 mutations may represent a biomarker for predicting salutary effects of anlotinib.
