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

This study plans to include 32 eligible II-IIIB non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), patients will receive 6 weeks of almonertinib, and to avoid overlap of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and immune-related pneumonitis, 2 weeks of washout period was designed before 3 cycles of adebrelimab + doublet platinum-based chemotherapy is administered. Dynamic blood samples before, during or after neoadjuvant treatment will be obtained for exploratory analysis. Patients with local disease and resectable or potentially resectable NSCLC will receive anatomic resection. Patients who progress upon neoadjuvant treatment and further assessed as 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 undergo optional adjuvant treatment including epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) or immunotherapy upon investigators' consideration or CT surveillance. Patients will be follow-up within 5 years after surgery. The primary endpoint of this study is major pathological response (MPR) defined as no more than 10% residual tumor found in primary lung cancer as per International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) criteria.

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: MPR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery
MPR was defined as percentage of tumor cells within tumor bed less than 10% for primary lung lesions
MPR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery

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
Pathological Complete Response (pCR)
Time Frame: pCR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery
The pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual tumor in both lung and lymph nodes after neoadjuvant treatment.
pCR will be assessed within 2 weeks after surgery
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Tumor response will be evaluated within 2 weeks after almonertinib, and within 3-4 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment
ORR is the number of participants with a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) divided by the total number of participants. Response is based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline or the complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and no new lesions.
Tumor response will be evaluated within 2 weeks after almonertinib, and within 3-4 weeks after last dose of neoadjuvant treatment

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: up to 60 months.
From date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment till the date of all-cause death, assessed up to 60 months.
up to 60 months.
Event Free Survival (EFS)
Time Frame: From date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment till the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months
Time from initiation of neoadjuvant treatment to any progression of disease precluding surgery, progression or recurrence of disease after surgery, progression of disease in the absence of surgery, or death from any cause.
From date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment till the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)
