• Complicated with unstable systemic diseases such as uncontrolled hypertension, severe arrhythmias, etc.;
• Active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases, or autoimmune paraneoplastic syndrome requiring systemic treatment;
• Allergic to experimental drugs;
• Previous or current interstitial lung disease;
• Complicated with HIV infection or active hepatitis.
• Those who were injected with vaccines or antibiotics within 4 weeks before the start of this trial, or who had undergone other major operations or severe injuries within the previous 2 months;
• Clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion or ascites requiring pleural or abdominal puncture drainage within 2 weeks before admission;
• Pregnant or lactating women;

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Toripalimab

Drug: Toripalimab; Neoadjuvant treatment stage: Toripalimab 240mg, Carboplatin AUC5+ pemetrexed 500 mg/m ², iv, 3 weeks per cycle, 2-4 cycles in total; Surgical treatment stage: Patients with MPM received surgical treatment (PD/EPP) after neoadjuvant therapy. Patients who were unable to operate or refused surgical treatment due to various reasons were treated with multidisciplinary discussion. Adjuvant treatment stage: CR, PR and SD patients who have been treated surgically: Toripalimab 240mg, Carboplatin AUC5+ pemetrexed 500 mg/m ²,iv, up to 4 cycles (including neoadjuvant stage).; Other Names: carboplatin; pemetrexed

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety: frequency of severe adverse events	The frequency of severe adverse events from the participants enrolling to 30 days after the last drug administration or 30 days after surgery or new anti-cancer therapy, which comes first.	up to 5 months
Major pathologic response (MPR)	MPR is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved major pathologic response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, tumors with no more than 10% viable tumor cells) in all participants who have completed the neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.	up to 4 months
Health related quality of life (HRQol)	The assessment is made according to the Quality of Life Scale for Lung Cancer Patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30 & LC13, Version 3). EORTC's QLQ-C30 & LC13 (V3.0) is a core scale for lung cancer patients, with a total of 43 items. Among them, Item 29 and 30 are divided into seven grades, which are assigned with 1 to 7 scores according to the answer options. The other items are divided into 4 grades: No	up to 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall survival (OS)	It is defined as the time from enrollment to death of participant due to any cause. In the case of a patient who still survives at the time of analysis, the date of last contact will be taken as the censoring date. In the event of a patient with the survival status unknown, the date when the patient is last known to be alive will be used for interpolation (censoring).	up to 60 months
Duration of remission (DOR)	According to the time from the first recording of objective remission to relapse or death from any cause determined by RECISTv1.1, whichever occurs first.	up to 60 months
Disease control rate (DCR)	The proportion of patients whose best overall remission (BOR) is CR, PR or disease stable (SD) according to RECISTv1.1 evaluation	up to 60 months
Progression-free survival (PFS)	PFS is defined as the time from the enrollment of the subject to the first determination of disease progression or death of any cause according to RECISTv1.1, whichever occurs first.	up to 60 months
