• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 2

• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy has shown good efficacy and safety in clinical studies of lung adenocarcinoma (RATIONALE 304) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (RATIONALE 307), thus has been approved as the first-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. However, there is no data in the field of neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC. This single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and major pathological response (MPR) of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with stage IIIA-IIIB (N2) lung squamous cell carcinoma. Biomarkers correlated with efficacy outcomes will also be explored.

Detailed description

Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy has shown good efficacy and safety in clinical studies of lung adenocarcinoma (RATIONALE 304) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (RATIONALE 307), thus has been approved as the first-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. However, there is no data in the field of neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC. This single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study intends to enroll about 30 patients with potentially operable lung squamous cell carcinoma with clinical stages IIIA-IIIB (N2). Participants will intravenously receive tislelizumab (BeiGene, 200mg d1) + albumin paclitaxel 260mg/m2 d1 + carboplatin AUC 5 d1, Q3W, Imaging evaluation is performed after 2 cycles of medication, and the feasibility of surgery is discussed in multiple disciplines. If the evaluation is operable, the lesion will be surgically removed 22-40 days after the last treatment. If it is assessed to be reduced but still inoperable, the original plan will be continued for another cycle. Imaging examinations, tissue NGS (whole-exome sequencing), gene expression profiling (GEP), and PD-L1 expression will be performed at baseline, preoperative and postoperative respectively.
