Brief summary

Explorative study, which evaluates the effect of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of stage Ⅲ unresectable non-small-cell lung carcinoma.

Detailed description

This is a open-label, single-arm prospective clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of newly diagnosed stage Ⅲ unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Interventions

DRUGTislelizumab

Tislelizumab: 200mg, ivgtt, day 1 of each 21-day cycle, neoadjuvant therapy : 2-4 cycles; Adjuvant therapy: 16cycles at most.

DRUGPemetrexed (Non-squamous NSCLC) or Nab-paclitaxel(Squamous NSCLC)

Pemetrexed: 500 mg/m\^2, ivgtt, day 1 of each 21-day cycle, 2-4 cycles. Nab-paclitaxel: 260mg/m\^2, ivgtt, day 1 of each 21-day cycle, 2-4 cycles.

Carboplatin was given dosed to an area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) of 5 ivgtt on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 2-4 cycles. Cisplatin: 75 mg/m\^2, ivgtt, day 1 of each 21-day cycle, 2-4 cycles.

PROCEDURESurgery

Surgery must be done within the 4th-6th week from day 1 the last cycle of neoadjuvant treatment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
R0 Resection Rate1 month after surgeryR0 Resection Rate: The pathological results will showed that the incision margin was negative and no residual cancer cells were found under the microscope.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Pre-operationObjective Response Rate (ORR): defined as the proportion of patients whose tumor size shrinks to predefined values,which including cases of CR and PR. Objective tumor response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1. Subjects must have measurable tumor lesions at baseline, and the response evaluation criteria are classified as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD) according to RECIST 1.1.
Resectability RatePre-operationResectability Rate is defined as the percentage of patients who were able to undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy.
Rate of grade 3 and higher grade treatment-related adverse eventsFrom date of treatment allocation until surgery or within 30 days after last dose of preoperative treatmentAdverse events will be evaluated and recorded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0).
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Up to 12 monthsProgression-Free Survival (PFS): defined as the time from the first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first.
Major Pathological Response (MPR) Rate1 month after surgeryMajor Pathological Response (MPR) Rate: defined as ≤ 10% of residual tumor cells in the surgically resected tumor specimen and sampled regional lymph nodes after neoadjuvant treatment.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate1 month after surgeryPathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate: no residual tumor cells in the surgically resected tumor specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes after neoadjuvant treatment.
