Endostar (rh‐endostatin) versus placebo in combination with vinorelbine plus cisplatin chemotherapy regimen in treatment of advanced non‐small cell lung cancer: A meta‐analysis

摘要

Background This meta‐analysis was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of Endostar (rh‐endostatin) versus a placebo in combination with a vinorelbine plus cisplatin (NP) chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Two reviewers independently searched Medline, PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, ASCO, ESMO, the Web of Science, and CNKI databases to locate relevant controlled clinical trials. The treatment efficacy and drug‐related toxicity of NP?+?Endostar (NPE) and NP groups were pooled through meta‐analysis according to random or fixed effect models. Results Fifteen prospective clinical studies were included in this meta‐analysis. The pooled risk ratio (RR) for objective response rate was 1.74 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43–2.11); the objective response rate in the NPE group was significantly higher than in the NP group ( P ?0.05). The one‐year survival rate in the NPE group was higher than in the NP group, with a statistically significant difference (RR?=?1.70, 95% CI 1.07–2.89; P Conclusion Endostar combined with an NP chemotherapy regimen can improve the prognosis of patients with advanced NSCLC without increasing the risk of toxicity.
