Phase II Neoadjuvant Study of Garsorasib Followed by Ivonescimab Plus Chemotherapy in Resectable Stage IIA-IIIB KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC (GIVEN Study)

Official title

An Exploratory Phase II Clinical Study Protocol of Perioperative Treatment With Glesorasib Sequentially Combined With Ivonescimab and Chemotherapy for Resectable, Stage IB-IIIB, KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC

Overview

This study is a multicenter, prospective, open-label clinical trial. It enrolls previously untreated patients with resectable stage IB-IIIB KRAS G12C mutation-positive NSCLC to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glesorasib sequentially combined with ivonescimab and chemotherapy as perioperative treatment for this patient population.

Interventions

• Drug Garsorasib
  Garsorasib 600 mg, twice daily, for 4 to 6 weeks
• Drug Ivonescimab Combined With Chemotherapy
  After a 2-week washout period, administer Ivonescimab 20 mg/kg in combination with the PC regimen (paclitaxel 135-175 mg/m² + carboplatin AUC 5) every 3 weeks.
• Procedure Surgery
  Surgery
• Drug Garsorasib
  If MRD is positive and KRAS is positive, adjuvant therapy with Garsorasib 600 mg twice daily should be administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, death, or termination due to other reasons, whichever occurs first.
• Drug Ivonescimab
  If MRD is positive and KRAS is negative, adjuvant therapy with Ivonescimab 20 mg/kg every 3 weeks should be administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, death, or termination due to other reasons, whichever occurs first.
• Behavioral Observation
  If MRD is negative, the patient should be placed under observation; once it turns positive, they will enter the corresponding treatment group as described above.

Primary outcome measures

• Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate assessed according to the IASLC recommendations for pathologic evaluation of lung cancer neoadjuvant therapy [Time frame: 14-24 weeks]

Secondary outcome measures (6)

• Major Pathological Response (MPR) rate assessed according to the IASLC recommendations for pathologic evaluation of lung cancer neoadjuvant therapy [Time frame: 14-24 weeks]
• R0 resection rate [Time frame: 24 months]
• Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Time frame: From initiation of neoadjuvant therapy until the final preoperative imaging assessment, up to 24 weeks (each cycle is 3 weeks).]
• One-year event-free survival rate (1-y EFS%) [Time frame: 12 months]
• Event-Free Survival (EFS) [Time frame: From the date of first dose until the end of event-free status (disease progression, recurrence, or death from any cause), assessed up to 60 months.]
• Overall Survival [Time frame: 60 months]
