Measured: Until the disease progression, an average of 1 year
Secondary outcomes (3)
Progression-free survival, PFS
PFS will be defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever occurs first PFS will be defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever occurs first PFS will be defined as the time from the date of treatment to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever occurs first
Measured: rom date of treat until the date of first disease progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years
Disease Control Rate, DCR
defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is complete response, partial response or stable disease as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1 defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is complete response, partial response or stable disease as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1
Measured: Until the disease progression, an average of 1 year
Proportion of adverse events
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Measured: Up to approximately 12 months or end of treatment visit, whichever came first

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Tislelizumab in combination with anlotinib in people with Pulmonary Pleomorphic Carcinoma and Immunotherapy, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University 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 8 inclusion and 12 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 28 May 2026. 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?
Objective Response Rate, ORR (time frame: Until the disease progression, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT05375734, 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 28 May 2026.
