Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive and lethal malignancy that accounts for 10–15% of lung cancers, and it is generally divided into limited and extensive stage. The standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) is still platinum-based chemotherapy and as maintenance therapy scheme. Although most parts of patients experience a significant tumor response to first-line therapy, the disease recurs invariably. Anlotinib hydrochloride, a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has significant inhibitory activity against angiogenesis-related kinases, such as VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR, and c-Kit kinase associated with tumor cell proliferation. Fluzoparib is a type of inhibitor of poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP, including PARPl, PARP2 and PARP3). Previous studies have shown that Fluzoparib has a strong inhibitory effect on PARP1 activity at the molecular and cellular levels.
