What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SintilimabDrug

    Neoadjuvant treatment stage: Sintilimab 200mg, q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles, then receive chest CT evaluation.

    Surgery stage: the patients will receive radical surgery after the neoadjuvant treatment.

    Adjuvant treatment stage: according to the NCCN guidelines.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    Neoadjuvant treatment stage: Sintilimab 200mg, q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles; platinum-based chemotherapy (Non-squamus: Carboplatin AUC 5 + Pemetrexed 500mg/m2; Squamous: Carboplatin AUC 5 + Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 or Paclitaxel 200mg/m2) q3w, i.v., 2-4 cycles, then receive chest CT evaluation.

    Surgery stage: the patients will receive radical surgery after the neoadjuvant treatment.

    Adjuvant treatment stage: according to the NCCN guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major pathologic response (MPR)

    MPR is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved major pathologic response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, tumors with no more than 10% viable tumor cells) in all participants who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy before surgery

    Measured: up to 5 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    It refers to the proportion of patients who have had a complete response or partial response (according to RECIST1.1) as confirmed by CT evaluation after 3 weeks in all patients who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy.Only patients with measurable lesions at baseline will be analyzed.

    Measured: up to 4 months

  2. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    It refers to the time from radical surgery to relapse or death of a participant due to disease progression. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the latest evaluation date will be used for interpolation (censoring).

    Measured: up to 60 months

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    It refers to the time from the first administration of drug in this study to the disease progression or death (including any cause of death in the case of no progression) as recorded in CRF, regardless of whether the patient exits from the treatment or receives other anti-cancer treatment before progression.

    Measured: up to 60 months

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    It is defined as the time from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date.

    Measured: up to 60 months

  5. Safety: frequency of severe adverse events

    The frequency of severe adverse events from the participants enrolling to 30 days after the last drug administration or 30 days after surgery or new anti-cancer therapy, which comes first.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sintilimab and Chemotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage III, run by Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China 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 17 inclusion and 18 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2023. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major pathologic response (MPR) (time frame: up to 5 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Sep 2023.
