Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

30 eligible patients will be enrolled and 3 cycles of Toripalimab 240mg + chemotherapy (Nab-paclitaxel + carboplatin, or pemetrexed + carboplatin) will be administered. Rare mutations include RET fusions, BRAF (V600E or non-V600E but confirmed driver mutations), ERBB2 exon20 insertion, MET amplification (FISH confirmed) or exon 14 skipping. Dynamic blood samples before, during or after neoadjuvant treatment will be obtained for exploratory analysis. Patients who showed inferior response to neoadjuvant treatment leading to unresectable disease will be scheduled for local radiation or other potential subsequent treatment regarding multidisciplinary discussion. After completion of local treatment (surgery or radiation), patients will be provided with optional adjuvant treatment including chemotherapy or/and rare mutations TKI upon investigators' consideration. The primary objective of the study is pathological complete response (pCR) defined as no residue tumor found in both primary lung cancer and metastatic lymph nodes.

Phase

Phase

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

  5. A history of active bleeding within the 6 months before enrollment, or receiving thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy, or the investigator believes that there is a clear tendency to gastrointestinal bleeding (such as esophageal varices with bleeding risk, local activity) Ulcer lesions, etc.) or active hemoptysis;
  6. Patients with any underlying disease that investigators consider it may affect patient's prognosis including sever cardiovascular, pulmonary disease or serious infections; Clinically obvious gastrointestinal abnormalities, which may affect the intake, transport or absorption of drugs (such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, etc.), or patients with total gastrectomy;
  7. Known or suspected autoimmune disease with activity. Participants may be enrolled if they have type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism that requires only hormone replacement therapy, skin diseases that require no systemic treatment (such as purpura, psoriasis, or hair loss), or other conditions that are not expected to return without external trigger.
  8. Patients with active hepatitis B (positive for HBsAg) or hepatitis C (positive for HCV RNA).
  9. Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  10. Patients with other active malignancies within five years
  11. Pregnant or lactating women; those who have fertility are unwilling or unable to take effective contraceptive measures;

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
