Brief summary

This is a prospective, open, single-center, single-arm phase II clinical study in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without common EGFR-sensitive mutations (Ex19del and L858R) or ALK fusion variants identified in the central laboratory. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy of sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with toripalimab.

Interventions

1. Sacituzumab tirumotecan will be administered at a dose of 4 mg/kg via intravenous infusion, with a treatment cycle of every 2 weeks, on Day 1 of each cycle. 2. Toripalimab will be administered at a dose of 240 mg via intravenous infusion, with a treatment cycle of every 3 weeks, on Day 1 of each cycle.

Hepatic function: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN); Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5×ULN; 3. Renal function: Creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula, see Appendix); 4. Coagulation function: International normalized ratio (INR), Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5×ULN; 5. Cardiac function: Echocardiography (ECHO) or Multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) scan showing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%; 11. For female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with partners of childbearing potential, must agree to use effective medical contraception from the time of informed consent signing until 6 months after the last dose (see Appendix 2 for details); 12. Subjects voluntarily participate in this study, sign informed consent, and are able to comply with protocol-specified visits and related procedures.

Exclusion criteria

1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed combined small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine carcinoma, or carcinosarcoma components; 2. Prior treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, or any other antibodies or drugs specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways; 3. Prior treatment with TROP2-targeted therapy and/or topoisomerase I inhibitors; 4. Requirement for strong inhibitors or inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme (CYP3A4) within 2 weeks prior to first dosing and during the study (strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers are not permitted in this study; Appendix 6 lists representative drugs of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers); all subjects must avoid concomitant use of any drugs, herbal supplements, and/or foods known to induce CYP3A4. 5. Other malignancies within the past 5 years, excluding cured cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, or cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma; 6. Known history of hypersensitivity to study drugs and their components, history of immunodeficiency, or history of organ transplantation; 7. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or non-infectious pneumonitis requiring steroid treatment (non-infectious), current ILD or non-infectious pneumonitis, or suspected ILD or non-infectious pneumonitis that cannot be excluded by imaging at screening; clinically significant pulmonary impairment due to pulmonary comorbidities, including but not limited to any underlying pulmonary disease (such as pulmonary embolism within 3 months prior to dosing, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, etc.) or any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disease that may involve the lungs (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, etc.), or prior pneumonectomy; 8. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years (hormone replacement therapy is not considered systemic treatment, such as type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism requiring only thyroid hormone replacement therapy, adrenal or pituitary insufficiency requiring only physiologic doses of glucocorticoid replacement therapy); 9.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) RateUp to approximately 8 weeks following completion of neoadjuvant treatmenpCR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having an absence of residual invasive cancer in resected lung specimens and lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to Study Week 15 (before surgery)ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters) per RECIST 1.1 before surgery.
Radiological downstaging rateUp to Study Week 15 (before surgery)The proportion of patients with radiological T, N, and overall stage reduction (AJCC v9) compared to baseline after neoadjuvant therapy.
Major Pathological Response (mPR) RateUp to approximately 8 weeks following completion of neoadjuvant treatmentmPR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having ≤10% viable tumor cells in the resected primary tumor and all resected lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
Event Free Survival (EFS)Up to approximately 2 yearsEFS is defined as the time from randomization until radiographic disease progression, local progression precluding surgery, inability to resect the tumor, local or distant recurrence, or death due to any cause. EFS determined either by biopsy assessed by local pathologist or by investigator-assessed imaging using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).
Overall Survival (OS)Up to approximately 2 yearsOS is defined as the time from randomization until death from any cause.
Number of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)Up to approximately 2 yearsAn AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered study drug and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this study drug. The number of participants who experienced an AE is presented.
Change From Baseline in Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Phase in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)Baseline, during the neoadjuvant phase (Cycle 3), during the adjuvant phase (Cycles 1, 3, 5, and 7), and during safety follow-up visits (up to 2 years)Change from baseline in QoL score using the EORTC QLQ-C30 will be determined. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is the most widely used cancer-specific, health-related QoL instrument comprised of 30 individual items arranged as both multi-item scales and individual items. Specifically, these items are divided into 5 functional scales (15 items total), 3 symptom scales (7 items total), 6 individual items.
