About this study
Official title: Neoadjuvant Toripalimab for Clinically Stage II-IIIB Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Mutation and PD-L1 Positive Expression: a Prospective, Open-label, Multicenter, Single-arm Phase II Clinical Study
The study is a prospective, open label, multicenter, single arm Phase II clinical trial, aiming to explore the use of neoadjuvant Toripalimab for clinically stage II-IIIB NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and PD-L1 positive expression, providing a novel perspective for further improving the prognosis of NSCLC patients. This study will provide valuable information for further clinical trials of neoadjuvant Toripalimab and other immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and PD-L1 positive expression.
Read the detailed description
For resectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the combination of neoadjuvant therapy and surgery has benefited the patients and has become a clinical routine and guideline recommended treatment. Among the East Asian NSCLC population, about 30% are positive for EGFR driver gene mutations. The efficacy of this population receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and EGFR inhibitors is limited, and their optimal neoadjuvant treatment strategy is still unclear. The neoadjuvant immunotherapy has achieved good therapeutic effects in driver-negative NSCLC patients, and is superior in PD-L1 expression positive patients.
Based on the above evidence, the investigators plan to conduct a prospective, open label, multicenter, single arm Phase II clinical study to explore the use of neoadjuvant Toripalimab for clinically stage II-IIIB NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations and PD-L1 positive expression, providing a novel perspective for further improving the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ToripalimabDrug
240mg IV, Q3W
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Toripalimab | Experimental | Neoadjuvant Toripalimab 240 mg IV on cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1), C2D1 and C3D1 before radical surgery for lung cancer. The participants will attend follow-up visits based on molecular residual disease (MRD) and receive adjuvant treatment including EGFR-TKI or chemotherapy if recommended. Receives: Drug: Toripalimab |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Major Pathological Response (MPR)
Defined as the incidence rate in postoperative pathology where the percentage of surviving tumor cells in the tumor bed is ≤ 10%, regardless of the presence or absence of live tumor cells in the lymph nodes.
Measured: MPR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery
Secondary outcomes (6)
Pathological Complete Response (pCR)
Defined as the proportion of patients in postoperative pathology who have no residual live tumor cells in the primary tumor bed or in all excised lymph nodes.
Measured: pCR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Based on the solid tumor evaluation criteria (RECIST 1.1), the sum of the proportions of complete and partial remission evaluated by imaging
Measured: Tumor response will be evaluated within 30 days after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment
2-year Event Free Survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the time from the first use of the investigational drug to any of the following events (whichever occurs first): the investigator assessed the disease progression based on imaging according to RECIST 1.1 and therefore was unable to receive curative surgery, local or distant recurrence, or death from any cause. A 2-year EFS is used as a secondary endpoint.
Measured: 2 years after the date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment
2-year Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the date from the first use of the investigational drug until death from any cause. A 2-year OS is used as a secondary endpoint.
Measured: 2 years after the date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment
Safety (Number of Participants With Grade 3 and Higher-grade Treatment-related Adverse Events)
The safety evaluation will be based on weekly blood routine tests, liver and kidney function, electrolyte analysis, etc., and adverse reactions of level 3 or above will be recorded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE 5.0).
Measured: From date of neoadjuvant treatment until surgery was applied during study period or up to at least 90 days after last dose.
Feasibility (Number of Participants Who Finished Neoadjuvant therapy and Receive Surgery Within 3-6 Weeks After Neoadjuvant Therapies)
Among patients who have been evaluated as operable after completing neoadjuvant therapy, a surgical period of no more than 42 days from the completion of neoadjuvant therapy is defined as feasible.
Measured: 6 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment

Among them, 10 patients will be enrolled in the first stage. If the number of MPR cases in the first stage is less than or equal to 1, the study will be terminated in the early stage; On the contrary, participants in the second stage will continue to be enrolled. If the total number of MPR cases is greater than or equal to 5 after the completion of the second stage, the study is considered positive.

A Phase 2 study testing Toripalimab in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Ruijin Hospital at 2 sites 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 10 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 18 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 2 sites 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?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Hecheng Li, PhD, MD (00862164370045, lihecheng2000@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Major Pathological Response (MPR) (time frame: MPR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery). 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 18 Nov 2024.
