About this study

Official title: The Safety and Feasibility of Preoperative Sintilimab Combined With Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery has been recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced and resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its efficacy remains to be improved. Drugs targeting PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have been proven to be effective for late-stage NSCLC, and anti-angiogenesis agents targeting VEGF (bevacizumab) has also been used for the first line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Therefore, we conduct this single-arm clinical trial, which aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant sintilimab combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy followed by surgery in treating locally advanced and resectable NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies around the world. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery has been recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced and resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its efficacy remains to be improved. Bevacizumab targeting VEGF is a widely used antitumor drugs in different types of malignancies, including late-stage NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) targeting PD-1 has also been confirmed to be effective in NSCLC patients. Therefore, we conduct this prospective single-arm clinical trial, to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant sintilimab (ICI targeting PD-1) combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy followed by surgery in treating locally advanced and resectable NSCLC. Twenty patients with stage II-IIIA NSCLC will be enrolled. And the primary endpoint of this study is the safety of this newly developed neoadjuvant treatment. The secondary endpoints are feasibility, radiological response and rate of major pathological response.

What participants receive

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

  • sintilimabDrug

    Also called IBI308, Xindili Dankang

    Sintilimab 200 mg, 4 cycles of treatment before surgery

  • bevacizumabDrug

    Also called Bei Fa Zhu Dankang Zhusheye

    bevacizumab 15 mg/kg, 4 cycles of treatment before surgery

Study groups in NCT04973293
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Neoadjuvant treatmentExperimentalParticipants will receive 4 doses of sintilimab (200 mg, IV) and bevacizumab (15 mg/kg, IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W). Participants will also receive 4 doses of carboplatin (AUC=5, IV) and pemetrexed (500 mg/m2, IV) Q3W. Surgery will be performed within 4 to 6 weeks after completion of preoperative therapy. After the second dose of sintilimab, bevacizumab and chemotherapy, contrast-enhanced chest CT will be performed. Patients with progression disease will receive surgery without the last 2 doses of treatment.
Receives: Drug: sintilimab; Drug: bevacizumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety (Rate of grade 3 and higher grade treatment-related adverse events)

    Adverse events will be evaluated and recorded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 5.0).

    Measured: From date of treatment allocation until surgery or up to at least 90 days after last dose of preoperative treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Feasibility (Completion rate of neoadjuvant treatment and surgery)

    Propotion of participants who complete neoadjuvant treatment and receive surgery within 42 days after preoperative therapies.

    Measured: From date of treatment allocation until surgery, assessed up to 5 months

  2. Major Pathological Response Rate

    Major pathologic response is predefined as no more than 10% of residual viable tumor cells in primary lesions.

    Measured: Two weeks after surgery

  3. Radiographic Response

    Radiographic response will be evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1.

    Measured: From date of treatment allocation and during treatment period up to 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sintilimab and bevacizumab in people with Lung Neoplasm Malignant, run by Ruijin Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 16 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 19 Nov 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.

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?

Contact Hecheng Li, MD, PhD (0086-021-64370045, lihecheng2000@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety (Rate of grade 3 and higher grade treatment-related adverse events) (time frame: From date of treatment allocation until surgery or up to at least 90 days after last dose of preoperative treatment). 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 19 Nov 2024.
