Official title
A Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Camrelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy for Resectable Stage IIIA-IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in resectable stage IIIA and IIIB (T3-4N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Inclusion criteria are: age 18-75, pathologically confirmed resectable stage IIIA-IIIB (T3-4N2) NSCLC, absence of EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 gene mutations, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status 0-1. All patients receive three cycles of camrelizumab combined with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, followed by curative surgery within 4-6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy. Patients undergo 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scans in 1 week before treatment and 1 week before surgery, and peripheral blood samples are collected for biomarker analysis. The primary endpoints for follow-up are pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and major pathological response (MPR) rate, while secondary endpoints include safety and progression-free survival. Exploratory endpoints include molecular imaging research and biomarker analysis.
Interventions
- Drug Camrelizumab Plus Chemotherapy
Patients were assigned to receive 3 cycles of camrelizumab (200 mg) plus chemotherapy (nab-paclitaxel, 130 mg/m2 or pemetrexed (for adenocarcinoma), 500mg/m2 plus platinum \[cisplatin, 75 mg/m2; carboplatin, area under the curve, 5\])
Primary outcome measures
- Major Pathological Response Rate [Time frame: From date of surgery to 14 days later]
- Pathologic complete response rate [Time frame: From date of surgery to 14 days later]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Adverse events [Time frame: 24 weeks]
- Disease-free survival [Time frame: 24 months]
