What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
The time from the beginning of treatment to the time when the disease progresses or the patient dies from any cause
Measured: 28 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
the rate of patients with PR and CR
Measured: 28 months
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
the rate of patients with PR and CR and SD
Measured: 28 months
Overall Survival (OS)
The time from the beginning of treatment to the time when the patient dies from any cause
Measured: 28 months
Duration of response (DoR)
Duration of Response (DoR) is defined as the time from the date of first documented objective response (Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) to the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients who have not experienced disease progression or death at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of their last adequate tumor assessment.
Measured: 28 months
In-field local control rate
In-field local control rate is defined as the proportion of participants without disease progression within the irradiated field, assessed according to RECIST version 1.1. In-field progression is defined as a ≥20% increase in the longest diameter of the target lesion relative to the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment initiation, or the appearance of a new malignant lesion within the radiation field or at its margin. The time to in-field local failure is measured from the start of radiotherapy to the date of documented in-field progression, death without in-field progression (censored), or last known follow-up (censored).
Measured: 28 months
Out-of-field recurrence rate
Out-of-field recurrence rate is defined as the proportion of participants who develop disease recurrence or progression outside the Planning Target Volume (PTV). Out-of-field recurrence is defined as the appearance of a new lesion or progression (≥20% increase in the longest diameter relative to the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment initiation per RECIST version 1.1) at a site completely outside the PTV. The time to out-of-field recurrence is measured from the start of radiotherapy to the date of documented out-of-field recurrence, death without out-of-field recurrence (censored), or last known follow-up (censored).
Measured: 28 month
AE
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Measured: 28 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Experimental in people with NSCLC and Sintilimab, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University at 4 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 8 inclusion and 22 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 2 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 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?
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 XueWen Liu (0731-88638888, 603263@csu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 28 months). 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 NCT07138755, 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 2 Sep 2026.
