NSCLC
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II investigator-initiated trial. The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of Adebrelimab plus Trastuzumab rezetecan induction therapy in patients with stage III unresectable HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible patients receive 3-4 cycles Q3W induction combination therapy. After induction, patients will receive radical surgery or concurrent chemoradiotherapy via MDT evaluation, followed by consolidation therapy and long-term survival follow-up. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include surgical conversion rate, major pathological response (MPR), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and safety profiles.
Interventions
1200mg intravenous infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 3-4 induction cycles; consolidation therapy after local treatment as physician discretion. Infusion duration 30-60 minutes.
3.2mg/kg intravenous infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 3-4 induction cycles; fixed dose 408mg if body weight ≥85kg. First infusion over 90 mins, subsequent cycles 60 mins if well tolerated.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Objective Response Rate (ORR) | End of Cycle 3/Cycle 4 induction (each cycle 21 days). Surgery-eligible patients assess tumor 6-8 weeks after Cycle3 last dose; others evaluate at Cycle4 end, ±7-day imaging window. | Proportion of participants achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) after 3-4 cycles induction therapy, assessed per RECIST v1.1 by investigators |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Event-Free Survival (EFS) | Up to 36 months after the first dose of study treatment (3-year full survival follow-up) | Time from first study drug dose to disease progression, local recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from any cause |
| Overall Survival (OS) | 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months after the first dose of study treatment | OS defined as time from first dose to all-cause death; survival rate calculated at fixed time points |
| Safety Profile (Treatment-Related Adverse Events) | From the date of signed informed consent through 30 days after the last study treatment infusion; long-term safety follow-up continues up to 36 months post first dose for delayed irAEs. | Incidence and grade of all adverse events, ≥3 grade AEs, serious adverse events (SAE), immune-related AEs, interstitial lung disease graded per NCI CTCAE v6.0 |
| Major Pathological Response (MPR) Rate | Within 4 weeks after curative lung resection (pathology report completion window) | Proportion of surgical patients with ≤10% viable tumor cells in resected primary tumor specimen (central blinded pathology review) |
| Surgical Conversion Rate | Within 6 to 8 weeks after the last induction study drug infusion (42-56 days post final induction dose) | Percentage of subjects receiving R0 radical pulmonary resection after MDT re-evaluation post induction |
