Abstract

The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of the combined treatment of lenvatinib and adenoviral delivered p53 gene (rAd‑p53) on non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and a total of 120 patients with NSCLC. The therapeutic effects of gene therapy of rAd‑p53 and target therapy of Lenvatinib were investigated in NSCLC patients. The anti‑tumor effects of combined treatment of llenvatinib and rAd‑p53 was administered orally once‑daily in NSCLC patients. Patients with NSCLC were divided into three groups and received lenvatinib (n=40), rAd‑p53 (n=40) or combined treatment of lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 (n=40) for a total of 30 days. Results showed that p53 was down‑regulated and VEGFR, FGFR and PDGFR‑β were up‑regulated in NSCLC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Combined treatment of Lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 markedly inhibited NSCLC cell growth, migration and invasion, and promoted apoptosis compared to either lenvatinib or rAd‑p53 alone. The most common treatment‑related adverse events included hypertension, diarrhea, nausea, proteinuria and body weight loss. Outcomes indicated that combined treatment of lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 markedly inhibited tumor growth compared to lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 alone for NSCLC patients. Combined treatment of lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 did not exhibit drug accumulation after 30‑day treatment. In conclusion, these outcomes indicate that combined treatment of lenvatinib and rAd‑p53 may be an efficient therapeutic schedule for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
