Tislelizumab Combined With Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Stage IIIA-IIIB (N2) Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (TACT)

August 22, 2021 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University

Tislelizumab Combined With Albumin Paclitaxel + Carboplatin as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Patients With Stage IIIA-IIIB (N2) Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Single-arm, Single-center, Exploratory Phase II Clinical Study

Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy has shown good efficacy and safety in clinical studies of lung adenocarcinoma (RATIONALE 304) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (RATIONALE 307), thus has been approved as the first-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. However, there is no data in the field of neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC. This single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and major pathological response (MPR) of Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with stage IIIA-IIIB (N2) lung squamous cell carcinoma. Biomarkers correlated with efficacy outcomes will also be explored.

Detailed Description

Tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy has shown good efficacy and safety in clinical studies of lung adenocarcinoma (RATIONALE 304) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (RATIONALE 307), thus has been approved as the first-line therapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in China. However, there is no data in the field of neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC. This single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study intends to enroll about 30 patients with potentially operable lung squamous cell carcinoma with clinical stages IIIA-IIIB (N2). Participants will intravenously receive tislelizumab (BeiGene, 200mg d1) + albumin paclitaxel 260mg/m2 d1 + carboplatin AUC 5 d1, Q3W, Imaging evaluation is performed after 2 cycles of medication, and the feasibility of surgery is discussed in multiple disciplines. If the evaluation is operable, the lesion will be surgically removed 22-40 days after the last treatment. If it is assessed to be reduced but still inoperable, the original plan will be continued for another cycle. Imaging examinations, tissue NGS (whole-exome sequencing), gene expression profiling (GEP), and PD-L1 expression will be performed at baseline, preoperative and postoperative respectively.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Pathological Response (MPR)
Time Frame: 2-4 weeks after resection
Major Pathological Response (MPR) is evaluated after resection by pathologists, which is defined as a metric of ≤10% residual tumor tissue after neoadjuvant therapy.
2-4 weeks after resection
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Time Frame: Through the trial
Adverse events are evaluated by investigators according to CTCAE 5.0.
Through the trial

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of radical resection (R0)
Time Frame: 4 weeks after resection
The rate of radical resection (R0) is evaluated by the investigator, which is the number of participants who can undergo R0 resection after the evaluation criteria established by the MDT team divided by the total number of enrolled groups.
4 weeks after resection
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 4 weeks after resection
The overall response rate is evaluated by the investigator, which is defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR relative to the appropriate analysis set (e.g. efficacy evaluable population)
4 weeks after resection
Disease-free survival (DFS)
Time Frame: 1 year and 2 years after resection
Disease-free survival (DFS) is evaluated by the investigator, which is the percentage of individuals in the treatment group who are likely to be free of the signs and symptoms of a disease after a specified duration of time.
1 year and 2 years after resection
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Through the trial
Overall survival (OS) evaluated by the investigator, which is the percentage of people in a group who are alive after a length of time.
