About this trial

This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase II clinical trial. The study recruits patients with stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer according to the 8th edition of the AJCC/UICC staging system. It aims to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody in combination with paclitaxel polymer micelles and platinum-based therapy for stage III unresectable non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1. Males or females aged 18 to 75 years.

2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous or non-squamous (EGFR/ALK/ROS1 negative) non-small cell lung cancer.

3. No prior local treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) or any systemic anti-tumor treatment for the tumor, including cytotoxic therapy, targeted therapy (including tyrosine kinase inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies), cell therapy, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, or any other investigational drug treatment.

4. Patients with unresectable stage III disease (according to the 8th edition AJCC TNM staging for non-small cell lung cancer, T1-2N2-3M0, T3N1-3M0, T4N0-3M0) after multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessment.

Disqualifiers

1. Presence of contraindications to immunotherapy (including long-term use of corticosteroids, history of radiation pneumonitis, etc.).

2. History of severe allergy to paclitaxel, docetaxel, platinum agents, or their prophylactic medications.

3. Any unstable systemic disease, including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg despite optimal medical therapy), unstable angina, angina attack within the past 3 months, liver disease requiring medication, kidney disease, or metabolic disease.

4. Received live vaccine within 28 days prior to treatment.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab combined with paclitaxel polymer micelles and Platinum (cisplatin/carboplatin)

    Drug

    The induction therapy regimen is as follows: Apalotamab: 5 mg/kg, every 3 weeks (q3w), administered via intravenous infusion. Paclitaxel polymer micelles in combination with platinum: In cycle 1, paclitaxel polymer micelles 230 mg/m² administered via intravenous infusion over ≥3 hours, with the option to escalate the dose in cycle 2 according to the instructions for use, followed by cisplatin 70 mg/m² or carboplatin AUC 5 mg/mL/min. The local treatment regimen involves re-evaluation by a multidisciplinary team (MDT), surgery, or radical radiotherapy or single fractionated segmental radiotherapy (two radiotherapy regimens for the investigator to choose from). The consolidation therapy regimen consists of apalotamab consolidation for 1 year or up to a maximum of 17 cycles, with the decision to combine with chemotherapy left to the discretion of the treating physician on an individual basis.
