About this trial

This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of thymosin α-1 (Tα1) plus chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitors as neoadjuvant therapy for operable non-small cell lung cancer

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Males and females aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 70 years

With operable NSCLC confirmed by imaging studies and histopathology. (Stage II-IIIB[N2], according to the 8th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC-TNM) Staging Manual). Operable NSCLC, as defined by the Multidisciplinary Consensus Statement on the Clinical Management of Patients with Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (2019 edition), includes resectable and potentially resectable cases. Resectable stage III NSCLC mainly includes stage IIIA N0-1, N2 with a single mediastinal lymph node metastasis and a short diameter < 2 cm and some T4N1 (with solitary carcinomatous nodules in different lobes of the same lung). Potentially resectable stage III NSCLC includes some IIIA and IIIB tumors, usually including a single N2 mediastinal lymph node with a short diameter < 3 cm, a potentially resectable superior sulcus tumor, and a potentially resectable T3 or T4 central tumor.

Presence of at least one measurable lesion on imaging as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

Negative for EGFR and ALK driver mutations

Disqualifiers

History of other malignancies within 5 years prior to the initial dose, excluding radically treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and/or carcinoma in situ following radical resection.

Positive for EGFR and ALK driver mutations or unknown

Ongoing participation in another interventional clinical trial, or receipt of other investigational agents or devices within 4 weeks prior to the first dose.

Prior multidisciplinary treatment for lung cancer, including but not limited to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or immunotherapy (e.g., PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors and CTLA-4 inhibitors).
