Overview
This is a phase II, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab plus chemotherapy as conversion treatment in patients with stage IIIB-IVA oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
Description
This single-arm, open-label, prospective phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab plus chemotherapy as conversion treatment in patients with stage IIIB-IVA oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
The primary endpoints were the rate of NSCLC converting to resectable tumors and the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate.The secondary endpoints included the rates of R0 resection, major pathological response (MPR) and pathological complete response (pCR), overall survival (OS) and PFS. Multi-omics analysis will be performed to identify potential biomarkers for treatment response.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients should voluntarily join this study and sign the informed consent form
- NSCLC patients diagnosed by cytology or histology and not previously receiving anti-tumor treatments (including systemic treatments, local treatments .etc)
- Patients with IIIB - IVA oligometastatic NSCLC : (a) IIIB - IIIC stage (T1-4N2-3): patients are not suitable or refuse to receive upfront surgical resection or radiotherapy; (b) oligometastatic stage IV (T1-3N0-2): radical resection/radiotherapy is feasible for metastatic lesions (the number of metastases being up to 3, and the maximum diameter of metastases being up to 2cm)
- After evaluation by MDT, upfront surgical resection is not the preferred treatment, but after induction systemic treatments, radical resection of the primary tumor is feasible, and radical resection/radiotherapy is feasible for extrathoracic metastases (if any)
- Age from 18 to 75 years old, both male and female
- ECOG score 0-1
- According to the RECIST v1.1 , patients should have at least one measurable lesion
- For suspicious mediastinal lymph nodes (including pathological enlargement or PET-CT indicating malignancy, etc.), further sampling is required for pathological diagnosis by EUBS, thoracoscopy, or mediastinoscopy
- According clinical evaluation, the lung function of patients (such as FVC, FEV1, TLC, FRC, DLco, etc.) should be sufficient for pneumonectomy
- The function of important organs should meet the following requirements: absolute count of neutrophils ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L; Serum albumin ≥ 35g/L; Thyroid hormone (TSH) ≤ 1 × ULN; Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤ 3 × ULN; International standardized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 or prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN
- Female patients at childbearing age are required to use contraceptive measures; for male patients whose partners are women at childbearing age, effective methods of contraception should be used during the trial period
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who meet any of the following conditions will not be enrolled in this study:
- NSCLC patients have sensitive EGFR mutation, EML4-ALK fusion or other forms of ALK gene changes
- Patients have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1/ PD-L1/CTLA4 antibody
- Patients with other primary malignancies within the past 3 years (excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ)
- Patients with active hepatitis B/C
- Patients with any active autoimmune diseases or a history of autoimmune diseases
- Patients who are using immunosuppressive agents or require systemic hormone therapy
- Patients with hypertension but without good control even through antihypertensive medication treatment ; patients with clinical symptoms or diseases related to unsatisfying cardiac function
- Patients with abnormal coagulation function (INR>2.0, PT>16s)
- Arterial/venous thrombotic events occurred before screening within 6 months
- Patients with active infection
- Patients with congenital or acquired immune dysfunction (such as HIV infection)
- According to the judgment of the researchers, patients have other factors that may affect the results of the research or cause the research to be terminated
