An Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Study of Gefitinib Plus Autologous Cytokine-Induced Killer Cell Immunotherapy(CIK)Versus Gefitinib Alone As Second Or Third-Line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Adenocarcinoma Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
comprises about 85% of all lung cancer cases, which is the leading cause of cancer
mortality, and adenocarcinoma is the most prevalent subtype. The epidermal growth factor
receptor (EGFR) adenosine triphosphate-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib
showed success in the treatment of advanced adenocarcinoma NSCLC following the failure of
front-line chemotherapy. However, the efficiency of treatment as second or third-line in
patients with advanced adenocarcinoma NSCLC is also low. It is necessary to further improve
the efficiency of treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC. Biological treatment is an
effective adjuvant treatment in comprehensive cancer treatment. Immunotherapy with
cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) characterized as fast amplification, strong anti-cancer
activity and broad anti-tumor spectrum, this effect may improve tumor control and survival,
as well as a better quality of life. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of Autologous
CIK Transfusion plus Gefitinib for advanced, recurrence, metastatic adenocarcinoma NSCLC.
