About this trial

The use of neoadjuvant immuno-chemotherapy could improve survival outcomes of patients eligible for sequential radio-chemotherapy comparing to the benefit already obtained with maintenance immunotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

Age ≥ 18 years.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage IIIA non resectable, IIIB or IIIC accordingly to 8th classification TNM, UICC 2015.

Disqualifiers

Immunotherapy or chemotherapy contra-indicated.

Patients eligible for treatment with concomitant radio-chemotherapy validated by multidisciplinary committee.

Stage I or II NSCLC.

Previously received a treatment with anti-PD1/PDL1, anti-CTLA, or other antineoplastic immunotherapy or chemotherapy for NSCLC.
