Brief Summary

For unresectable locally-advanced non-small cell lung cancer, chemoradiotherpay plus immunotherapy is recommended by PACIFIC trial. However, it is unclear whether surgery can provide survival benefit for patients with tumors initially unresectable transformed into resectable ones after chemoimmunotherapy. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the therapeutic regimen of chemoimmunotherapy plus surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Event-free survival (EFS)

    Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the length of time (months) from randomization to any of the following events: any progression of disease precluding surgery, progression or recurrence disease based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1 after surgery, or death due to any cause. Participants who don't undergo surgery for reason other than progression will be considered to have an event at progression or death. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

    Up to 30 months

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Objective response rate (ORR)

    Up to 4 months

  • Major pathologic response (MPR)

    up to 5 months

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    up to 60 months

  • Disease-free survival (DFS)

    up to 60 months

  • Overall survival (OS)

    up to 60 months

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

SurgeryPROCEDURE

Patients with stage IIIB-IIIC non-small cell lung cancer are treated with nab-paclitaxel/pemetrexed plus carboplatin and serplulimab for 4 cycles. Those with downstaged and resectable tumors after chemoimmunotherapy are randomised into surgical treatment arm and radiotherapy arm, and those with tumors still unresectable after chemoimmunotherapy will receive non-surgical treatment in department of medical oncology in the third arm.
