Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who have fully understood the trial and are willing to sign the informed consent form.
  • Ages between 18 years old to 70 years old, with no gender restrictions.
  • Previously untreated, histologically confirmed, potentially resectable stage IIIA-IIIB NSCLC (AJCC staging 8th edition); potentially resectable refers to patients with T3 or T4 primary lesions and positive N1 or N2 lymph nodes who are expected to be difficult to resect or require pneumonectomy after discussion by MDT (including surgery, imaging, anesthesia, and internal medicine).
  • Patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma do not need genetic testing. If the test is positive for EGFR, ALK or ROS1, it is considered an exclusion criterion; if it is adenocarcinoma, genetic testing must include at least EGFR, ALK, and ROS1. The acceptable detection methods are ARMS or NGS, where NGS is a cFDA-approved test kit.
  • Measurable lesions according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1.
  • Before enrollment, 20 tissue sections (thickness 4-6 microns) must be submitted for biomarker evaluation (tumor tissue samples must be fresh or archived samples obtained within 3 months before enrollment; fresh tissue must be core needle biopsy, excision, or incision biopsy specimens).

  • Endocrine system: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within normal limits. Note: If TSH is not within the normal range at baseline, the subject may still meet the inclusion criteria if T3 and free T4 are within the normal range;
  • Coagulation function: International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, except for subjects who are receiving anticoagulant therapy, as long as PT or aPTT is within the intended use range of the anticoagulant drug; (1)Cardiac function test: Baseline electrocardiogram shows no PR interval prolongation or atrioventricular block;
  • Total lung function is adequate to sustain the planned lung resection, as assessed by the surgeon.
  • Women must agree to use contraceptive measures (such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), birth control pills or condoms) during the study and within 6 months after the study ends; serum or urine pregnancy tests must be negative within 7 days before study enrollment, and must not be breastfeeding patients; men must agree to use contraceptive measures during the study and within 6 months after the study ends.

Who cannot join

  • Histopathological identification is neuroendocrine carcinoma or sarcomatoid tumor.
  • Resectable disease in the early stage.
  • Subjects with known EGFR mutations or ALK, ROS1 translocations, and subjects with non-squamous cell carcinoma need to clarify the EGFR, ALK and ROS1 mutation status.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. R0 surgical resection rate

    No residual ratio under the microscope after surgical resection

    Measured: Approximately 1 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. ORR

    To measure the patients's overall response rate

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  2. Major Pathological Response (MPR) rate

    defined as noadjuvant therapy-induced tumor regression in pathologically residual tumor cells <10%

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  3. Complete Response (pCR) rate

    Defined as non-adjuvant therapy-induced tumor regression in absence of pathologically residual tumor cells

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  4. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Defined as the time from the first dose treatment to the occurrence of any event, including disease progression, discontinuation of treatment for any reason, or death.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  5. Disease-Free Survival (DFS)

    Defined as the time from surgery to the occurrence of any event, including disease progression, discontinuation of treatment for any reason, or death.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time from the first dose treatment to death.

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Toripalimab in people with Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Yongchang Zhang at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

R0 surgical resection rate (time frame: Approximately 1 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04144608, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Aug 2024.
