    Measured: Up to 25 months

  4. Part 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR) of Tislelizumab SC

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who had confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined from tumor assessments by investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).

    Measured: Up to approximately 27 months

  5. Part 2: Duration of Response (DOR) of Tislelizumab SC

    DOR is defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response per RECIST v1.1 until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: Up to approximately 27 months

  6. Part 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of the first dose of study drug(s) to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease assessed by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to approximately 27 months

Individual data sharing
Yes: BeiGene shares data on completed studies responsibly and provides qualified scientific and medical researchers access to data and supporting documentation for clinical trials in dossiers for medicines and indications after submission and approval in the United States, China, and Europe. Clinical trials supporting subsequent local approvals, new indications, or combination products are eligible for sharing once corresponding regulatory approvals are achieved. BeiGene shares data only when permitted by applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations, when it is feasible to do so without compromising the privacy of study participants, and other considerations. Qualified researchers with appropriate competencies who are engaged in novel scientific research may submit a request for participant-level data with a research proposal for BeiGene review. Research teams must include a biostatistician and sign a Data Sharing Agreement prior to receiving access to clinical trial data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tislelizumab IV, Tislelizumab SC and Histology-Based Chemotherapy Doublet in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by BeiGene at 15 sites in 3 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 12 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in China, Georgia, Moldova. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Part 1 and 2: Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of Tislelizumab SC (time frame: Up to approximately 3.5 months). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06091943, 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 12 Aug 2026.
