The Real World Study of Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Early Stage NSCLC in China

Overview

Several published clinical trials have shown the superiority of immunotherapy in neoadjuvant setting. Here we conducted this real world study to see whether neoadjuvant immunotherapy would bring MPR and survival benefits in NSCLC, for example, single agent immunotherapy or immunotherapy combination with chemotherapy. Furthermore biomarker analysis would be also performed to achieve personalized neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

Interventions

• Drug Immunotherapy
  Patients in this group should be histologically confirmed potentially resectable NSCLC with stage II-IIIA. Furthermore patients would receive either single agent immunotherapy or immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy.

Primary outcome measures

• MPR [Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks]

Secondary outcome measures (4)

• Objective Response Rate [Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks]
• MPR based on diverse PD-L1 expression [Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks]
• Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events [Time frame: From the date of the first cycle of neoadjuvant treatment until 90 days after end of treatment, assessed up to 100 months]
• Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Time frame: From date of the first cycle of neoadjuvant treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

• Patients with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and the following in situ cancers: bladder, gastric, colon, endometrial, cervical/ dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to study entry AND no additional therapy is required during the study period
• Any medical, mental or psychological condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not permit the patient to complete the study or understand the patient information

• Women who are pregnant or in the period of breastfeeding
• Sexually active men and women of childbearing potential who are not willing to use an effective contraceptive method during the study
• In case of doubt please contact trial team.
