This multicenter retrospective study assessed the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib-based treatment in patients with refractory bone and soft tissue sarcomas after several lines of TKIs' resistance.
The short-lived duration of disease control and secondary drug resistance have posed a threat to the effect of TKIs. Fruquintinib is a novel TKI with a high selectivity of VEGFR-1,2,3 without metabolism by liver enzymes and was approved for application in mCRC. Serious drug resistance and the unique characteristics of fruquintinib have prompted us to verify whether this drug can reverse TKIs' resistance at a higher dose.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
124
For patients with pulmonary metastasis only, we mostly gave them fruquintinib with 7 mg in adults and 3-5 mg in children (\<10 years) orally per day (5 days on and 2 days off). If patients were extrapulmonary metastasis, we usually used combinations with metronomic chemotherapy (2/3 or 3/5 or even 1/2 of the usual dose) or immunotherapy.
