About this study
Official title: A Prospective Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Tumor Immune Microenvironment Remodeling Induced by Shenqi Fuzheng Injection Combined With Neoadjuvant PD-1 Inhibitors and Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Resectable Locally Advanced NSCLC
This prospective, single-center clinical trial will enroll 30 treatment-naïve patients with locally advanced, resectable stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to receive neoadjuvant Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, while secondary endpoints include the major pathological response (MPR) rate and event-free survival (EFS). Furthermore, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics will be employed to dynamically track alterations in the immune regulatory network within the tumor microenvironment (TME) pre- and post-SFI administration. This approach aims to elucidate how SFI remodels the TME immune landscape and to uncover its potential advantages in improving clinical outcomes. Additionally, we will investigate the synergistic effects of SFI combined with PD-1 blockade and platinum-based chemotherapy, with the ultimate goal of advancing the integration of traditional Chinese medicine into the therapeutic paradigm for resectable NSCLC.
Read the detailed description
This study plans to enroll 30 treatment-naïve patients with locally advanced, resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Enrolled patients will receive 2 to 3 cycles of neoadjuvant combination therapy, including Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI), a PD-1 inhibitor, and platinum-based chemotherapy, followed by surgical resection 3 to 4 weeks after completion of treatment. The primary outcome measure is the pathological response rate of the tumor following surgery. Additionally, advanced genomic profiling techniques will be employed to analyze changes in the tumor immune microenvironment before and after treatment, with the aim of elucidating the underlying mechanisms of action of SFI.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Shenqi Fuzheng InjectionDrug
Also called PD-1 Inhibitor, Carboplatin, Paclitaxel
Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) in combination with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy.
SFI is administered starting 3 days before the third cycle of chemotherapy, given by intravenous infusion at a dose of 250 mL once daily for 10 consecutive days.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| SFI plus PD-1 and PBC | Experimental | Patients received neoadjuvant Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI; 250 mL intravenous infusion once daily for 10 consecutive days) in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. SFI administration commenced 2 days prior to the initiation of cycle 3 chemotherapy. Surgical resection was performed 3-4 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. Receives: Drug: Shenqi Fuzheng Injection |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate
Defined as the proportion of randomized subjects with no residual viable tumor in the lung and sampled lymph nodes, as assessed by a Blinded Independent Pathological Review (BIPR), divided by the total number of randomized subjects in the respective treatment group.
Measured: Tumour tissue specimens were obtained at the time of surgery
Secondary outcomes (3)
Major Pathological Response (MPR) Rate
Defined as the proportion of randomized subjects with ≤10% residual viable tumor in the lung and sampled lymph nodes, as assessed by BIPR, divided by the total number of subjects in the respective treatment group.
Measured: From enrollment to surgery following neoadjuvant therapy.
Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)
Defined as the time interval from the date of surgery to the date of documented disease recurrence or the date of the last follow-up, whichever occurs first.
Measured: From enrollment to 36 months post-treatment
Radiological Complete Response (rCR) Rate
Defined as the absence of contrast enhancement in the original tumor bed as demonstrated by contrast-enhanced mediastinal MRI. The rCR will be dynamically monitored at three timepoints: prior to neoadjuvant therapy, before the initiation of Cycle 3 of the immuno-chemotherapy regimen (i.e., prior to Shenqi Fuzheng Injection administration), and prior to surgical resection.
Measured: From Enrollment to Surgery After Neoadjuvant Therapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Shenqi Fuzheng Injection in people with Tear Disorder and Resectable Locally Advanced Non-Squamous NSCLC, run by Anhui Provincial Cancer Hospital.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 Tian Tian Tian, Master's degree (13866195758, tiantian@ustc.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) Rate (time frame: Tumour tissue specimens were obtained at the time of surgery). 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 NCT07843251, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 29 Oct 2026.
