Background: STUPP regimen is now the standard treatment for newly diagnosed GBM, while the effectiveness is limited. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of anlotinib, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor, combined with the STUPP regimen in treating these patients. Methods: This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial (NCT04119674). Thirty-three patients (17 males and 16 females) were enrolled from 8 hospitals in China between January 2019 and February 2021. Inclusion criterion included 1) newly diagnosed histologically confirmed glioblastoma (WHO grade IV), 2) 2-6 weeks (wks) after surgery with healed incision, 3) 18-70 years old, 4) KPS≥60, 5) at least one measurable lesion according to RANO criteria, 6) radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, immunotherapy or biotherapy naïve. All patients received 54-60 Gy radiation (1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction, five days per week) concurrently with temozolomide (TMZ, 75mg/m2, orally, QD) and anlotinib (8mg, orally, QD, d1-14/3wks). Adjuvant therapy started four weeks after RT completion, including six cycles of TMZ (150-200mg/m², orally, d1-5/4wks) and eight cycles of anlotinib (8mg, orally, QD, d1-14/3wks). Patients who completed adjuvant therapy were administrated anlotinib continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Safety assessment was done in patients who received at least one dose of study agent. Results: The median age is 52 (range 32-69) years. Analyses included data collected through February 6, 2021. The median treatment duration was 6.5 months. The median PFS was not reached, and the median overall survival (OS) was 17.4 months [95%CI 11.6-23.2]. The 1-year PFS and OS rate was 84.0% and 100.0%, respectively. Tumor response occurred in 21 patients, 63.6% (21/33) objective response (CR/PR), and 24.2% (8/33) patients had stable disease (SD).The clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as the proportion of patients who achieved durable disease control (CR/PR/SD) more than six months, was 57.6% (19/33). Hypertension (6.1%) was the most common ≥grade 3 adverse event. No treatment related death occurred in this study through the last follow-up. Overall, toxicities are mild and manageable. Conclusions: Anlotinib combined with the STUPP regimen is efficacious and well-tolerated in newly diagnosed GBM patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04119674
