Brief summary
This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter global study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in combination with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) followed by tislelizumab monotherapy versus cCRT alone, and tislelizumab given sequentially after cCRT versus cCRT alone, in newly diagnosed stage III subjects with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary endpoint is centrally-assessed progression free survival (PFS) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. .
Interventions
DRUGTislelizumab
PD-1 inhibitor (monoclonal antibody against PD-1)
Chemotherapy options include carboplatin/paclitaxel and cisplatin/etoposide per standard of care. Radiotherapy will also be given concurrently with chemotherapy.
