Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators provide a combined treatment of personalized tumor neoantigen-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccine, PD-1 Inhibitor, and radiotherapy to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progressed after second-line treatment. The investigators observe the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), adverse event (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) , aiming to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Objective response rate (ORR)

  According to RECIST (version 1.1) criteria, the proportion of subjects experiencing Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) within the analyzed population. Provide the 95% CI for the Objective Response Rate (ORR).

  Through study completion, an average of 32 weeks

• Disease control rate (DCR)

  According to RECIST (version 1.1) criteria, the proportion of subjects experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) within the analyzed population. Provide the 95% CI for the Disease Control Rate (DCR).

  Through study completion, an average of 32 weeks

• Drug safety

  Safety analysis will be based on data from the safety population. It will primarily involve descriptive statistical analysis, with tables describing the adverse events that occurred in this study.

  Through study completion, an average of 32 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

  From date of recruiting until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 66 months

• Overall Survival (OS)

  From date of recruiting until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 66 months

Study Arms (1)

Combinational treatment of radiotherapy, PD-1 inhibitor, and neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive a personalized radiotherapy treatment course, followed with PD-1 inihibitor injections (every 3 weeks) and 10 subcutaneous injections of the vaccine within a treatment period of 21 weeks.

Radiation: Radiotherapy; Drug: PD-1 inhibitor; Drug: Neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine

Interventions

Radiotherapy RADIATION

Radiotherapy will be completed prior to the administration of personalized tumor neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine and PD-1 inhibitors. The treatment cycle, frequency, and dosage are determined by the subject's primary physician based on the specific conditions of the participant.

PD-1 inhibitor DRUG

Treatment with PD-1 inhibitors will begin after the completion of radiotherapy, with a treatment cycle of 3 weeks. On the first day (D1) of each treatment cycle, the drug is administered intravenously, with the dosage according to the instructions.

Neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine DRUG

The treatment with personalized tumor neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine is divided into two periods: the primary phase and the boost phase. The primary phase consists of 6 treatments, with the first 3 treatments spaced one week apart and the subsequent 3 treatments spaced two weeks apart. Vaccine will be administrated on the fourth day (D4) of that week. The boost phase consists of 4 treatments, each spaced three weeks apart. Vaccine will be administrated on the fourth day (D4) of that week.
