Brief summary

This trial is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label study, planning to enroll 116 subjects with resectable stage II-IIIa squamous NSCLC confirmed by histopathology or cytology, aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of serplulimab compared to nivolumab combined with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant therapy. This is a clinical trial from Eastern Cooperative Thoracic Oncology Project (ECTOP), numbered as ECTOP-1036.

Interventions

Serplulimab injection \[300 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W (once every 3 weeks)\] + paclitaxel (albumin-bound) for injection \[260 mg/m2, highest dose Not More Than 400 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W\] + carboplatin injection (AUC=5, highest dose Not More Than 750 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W) for 2-3 cycles

Nivolumab \[360 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W (once every 3 weeks)\] + paclitaxel (albumin-bound) for injection \[260 mg/m2, highest dose Not More Than 400 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W\] + carboplatin injection (AUC=5, highest dose Not More Than 750 mg, administered on Day 1, Q3W) for 2-3 cycles;
