Brief summary: Subject population：Patients with brain metastases from EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer who have not received systemic treatment.

Experimental design: Single-center, single-arm phase II clinical trial. Purpose: Efficacy and safety of Anlotinib combined with Almonertinib in the treatment of patients with brain metastases from EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

treatment plan: 1). Anlotinib: 12mg/time (BSA≥1.6 m2) or 10mg/time (BSA\<1.6 m2), once a day orally, taking two weeks and stopping for one week; 2). Almonertinib: 110mg, orally once a day; primary endpoint: Intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS); secondary endpoint: Objective intracranial response rate (iORR=iCR+iPR), intracranial disease control rate (iDCR=iCR+iPR+i SD), overall progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), quality of life score.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

7. ALT and AST\<2.5 ULN; if there is liver metastasis, ALT and AST\<5 ULN;
8. Cr≤1.25 ULN or creatinine clearance (CCr) ≥45ml/min (Cockcroft-Gaulat formula);
9. Urine protein \<2+ (when the baseline urine protein is 2+, a 24-hour urine protein quantification should be performed, and it can only be selected when it is ≤1g);
10. The international normalized ratio of blood coagulation (INR) ≤ 1.5 and APTT ≤ 1.5 ULN;
11. Doppler ultrasound assessment: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ lower limit of normal value (50%); 8) Women of childbearing age should agree to use contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine devices, contraceptives or condoms) during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study; serum or urine pregnancy test is negative within 7 days before study entry , And must be non-lactating patients; men should agree to patients who must use contraception during the study period and within 6 months after the end of the study period.

9) The patients voluntarily joined the study, signed an informed consent form, and had good compliance.

Exclusion Criteria:

1) Small cell lung cancer (including lung cancer mixed with small cell carcinoma and non-small cell carcinoma); 2) Brain metastases accompanied by active bleeding; 3) Those who have previously used anti-tumor angiogenesis drugs (such as bevacizumab, endurance, anlotinib, etc.) treatment failure; 4) At the beginning of the study treatment, there was an unhealed toxic reaction of grade ≥2 (NCI-CTC AE4.03) related to the previous treatment: (except for hair loss and grade 2 neuropathy caused by platinum drugs) 5) Those who have a variety of factors that affect oral medications (such as uncontrollable nausea and vomiting, inability to swallow, gastrointestinal resection, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction, etc.); 6) Local radiotherapy to relieve the disease within 14 days before the first administration of the study treatment; radiotherapy or extensive radiotherapy for more than 30% of the bone marrow area within 4 weeks before the first administration (for palliative treatment of non-brain metastases such as bone metastases) Except for radiotherapy); 7) Patients with any severe and/uncontrolled diseases, including:
