Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All the patients were those admitted to the Thoracic Surgery Department of the Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  • Achieved resectability after neoadjuvant immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy
  • Initially required pneumonectomy or combined lobectomy based on tumor size and extent, but became suitable for minimally invasive resection after neoadjuvant treatment
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • ECOG performance status score of 0-1
  • Complete imaging, pathological, and follow-up data available

Who cannot join

  • Disease progression (PD) after neoadjuvant therapy
  • Still required pneumonectomy or combined lobectomy after neoadjuvant therapy, with no reduction in the planned surgical extent
  • Intraoperative findings indicating that R0 resection was not feasible
  • Severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction or other complications that made the patient unable to tolerate surgery

About this study

This study intends to conduct a prospective, non-interventional study to compare the survival benefits of different surgical resection patterns for patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have achieved partial response (PR) after immunotherapy induction. The study plans to enroll patients suitable for surgery as assessed by radiomics evaluation and multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion, and will assign them to the modified surgery group and the conventional surgery group based on patient preference. The resection scope in the modified surgery group is more limited compared to conventional surgery, aiming to maximize preservation of pulmonary function while ensuring oncological safety. This study will systematically evaluate the impact of different resection scopes on patient prognosis after neoadjuvant immunotherapy, providing clinical evidence for exploring individualized surgical strategies for non-small cell lung cancer in the era of immunotherapy.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT07373899
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conventional Surgery GroupPerform a pneumonectomy or composite lobectomy within the originally planned scope
Modified/Reduced Surgery GroupUnder the premise of ensuring R0 resection, reduce the surgical scope, prefer composite lobectomy or lobectomy to maximize the preservation of pulmonary function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival

    It refers to the period from the beginning of the study until the recurrence of the disease or any cause of death.

    Measured: Evaluate over a period of up to five years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from surgery time until death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of diagnosis until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 5 years.

  2. Pathological Complete Response(pCR)

    After evaluating the removed tumor tissue and the regional lymph nodes, no residual tumor cells were found.

    Measured: up to 1 month after surgery

  3. Incidence of perioperative complications

    The perioperative period refers to a certain period before, during and after the surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications refer to various respiratory system complications that occur in patients after the surgery.

    Measured: up to 1 month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy, run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences 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 6 inclusion and 4 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 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.

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?

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?

Disease-free survival (time frame: Evaluate over a period of up to five years). 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 24 Jul 2026.
