About this trial

This is a phase II, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab plus chemotherapy as conversion treatment in patients with stage IIIB-IVA oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients should voluntarily join this study and sign the informed consent form

NSCLC patients diagnosed by cytology or histology and not previously receiving anti-tumor treatments (including systemic treatments, local treatments .etc)

Patients with IIIB - IVA oligometastatic NSCLC : (a) IIIB - IIIC stage (T1-4N2-3): patients are not suitable or refuse to receive upfront surgical resection or radiotherapy; (b) oligometastatic stage IV (T1-3N0-2): radical resection/radiotherapy is feasible for metastatic lesions (the number of metastases being up to 3, and the maximum diameter of metastases being up to 2cm)

After evaluation by MDT, upfront surgical resection is not the preferred treatment, but after induction systemic treatments, radical resection of the primary tumor is feasible, and radical resection/radiotherapy is feasible for extrathoracic metastases (if any)

Disqualifiers

NSCLC patients have sensitive EGFR mutation, EML4-ALK fusion or other forms of ALK gene changes

Patients have previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors such as PD-1/ PD-L1/CTLA4 antibody

Patients with other primary malignancies within the past 3 years (excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ)

Patients with active hepatitis B/C

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • serplulimab plus chemotherapy as conversion treatment

    Procedure/Surgery

    Patients with unresectable NSCLC will receive serplulimab plus chemotherapy as conversion treatment, and then curative pneumonectomy will be provided for patients who are suitable for primary tumor resection. Locoregional ablative treatments will be performed for metastatic lesions.
