B ackground: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant primary brain tumor with a 5-year survival rate of 5%. There is no standard and effective treatment for recurrent GBM. Angiogenesis is recognized as a key event in the progression of GBM. Bevacizumab as an anti-angiogenic monoclonal antibody has been recommended by NCCN guidelines for recurrent GBM. Anlotinib is a small-molecule multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) which has different function mechanisms and targets with bevacizumab. Therefore, we investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent IDH-wide type (wt) GBM on the basis of TMZ treatment. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 18 patients with IDH-wt GBM in Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute from 2019 to 2022. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for combination treatment. The secondary endpoint was 6-months PFS rate, 1-year OS rate, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), OS and safety and toxicity profile. Results: All patients were diagnosed as WHO grade IV IDH-wt GBM and the median age of all patients was 55 years (range 39-76). Patients with recurrent GBM were first treated with anlotinib, followed by bevacizumab when patients developed progression or cerebral edema. In the overall population, the median OS for overall patients is 27 months, and the median survival time after first recurrence is 13.3 months. The median survival time of anlotinib treatment and combination treatment is 15.6 months and 12 months, respectively and the median PFS is 14.3 months and 9.1 months, respectively. The ORR for combination treatment was 27.8%, and 6-months DCR was 77.8%. The last follow-up date was October 15, 2022. By the last follow-up date, 3 patients were continuing anlotinib combined with bevacizumab treatment with no disease progression. The 6-months PFS rate was 78.9%, and the 1-year OS rate was 44.4%. The treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were shown in Table 3. The main AEs was bone marrow suppression (83.3%, 15/18), most of which were grade I and II (50%, 9). The AEs were relieved by adjusting the drug dose and symptomatic treatment. There were no treatment related deaths. Conclusions: Our study reported the clinical effect of anlotinib combined with bevacizumab treatment in recurrent GBM patients on the basis of TMZ treatment in a real-world setting. This is the first attempt to conduct dual antiangiogenic treatment in GBM patients. We demonstrate a promising result and suggest that this combination treatment may be a novel and safety treatment option for recurrent IDH-wt GBM patients.
