Abstract: Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant lung cancer with a very poor prognosis. Clinical treatment options for SCLC are still limited, especially for patients who have failed first or second line therapy. Anlotinib is a potentially beneficial new treatment option for SCLC. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib-containing regimen for the treatment of SCLC. Methods: We will search SinoMed, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed for relevant articles that may meet the criteria published before March 31, 2021. We will perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib-containing regimen for the treatment of SCLC. Clinical randomized controlled trials comparing anlotinib-containing regimens with other treatment regimens for advanced SCLC will be included in this study. The risk of bias will be evaluated for each included study using the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. We will use RevMan 5.3 software for statistical analysis of the data. Results: The results of this study will provide evidence of anlotinib-containing regimens for advanced SCLC, and provide clinicians and patients with another convenient and effective treatment regimen for SCLC. This meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Conclusion: This meta-analysis will provide clinical evidence of anlotinib-containing regimens for advanced SCLC, which may or may not be found for anlotinib use. Systematic review registration: INPLASY202110034.
