Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Recurrent Atypical/Malignant Meningioma
Additional Details

Vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF is related to the abnormal angiogenesis of meningioma and can also activate other growth factor pathways. Meningiomas are vascular tumors. Studies have shown that the expression of VEGF in atypical meningiomas is twice that of benign meningiomas, and VEGF in anaplastic meningiomas is 10 times that of benign meningiomas. Therefore, anti-angiogenesis therapy may be more effective for higher grade meningiomas. Previous clinical studies have confirmed that anti-angiogenic drugs such as bevacizumab, sunitinib and PTK 787 can slow down tumor growth and prolong progression-free survival for recurrent atypical/malignant meningioma. In summary, apatinib mesylate may be an effective treatment for recurrent atypical/malignant meningioma. This prospective clinical study is now planned to verify the effectiveness and safety of apatinib mesylate in the treatment of relapsed atypical/malignant meningioma.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: test group

Interventions

Drug: - Apatinib Mesylate

Apatinib mesylate tablets: Orally, 500 mg, once a day, with warm water for half an hour after a meal (the time of taking the medicine every day should be the same as possible). Continue to use 28 days as a cycle, medication until disease progression (PD), intolerable toxicity occurs or the patient withdraws informed consent. However, the longest period does not exceed 24 cycles, and the treatment after 24 cycles is determined by the investigator.
