About this trial

For stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus PD-1 antibody is recommended. However, most patients could not achieve complete pathological response (CPR). New immunotherapeutic strategy is needed to achieve higher CPR rate. JS004 is a new antibody targeting B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) which restrains the function of immune cells and leads to immune escape of tumor cells. The combination of PD-1 antibody and BTLA antibody has shown good therapeutic effect in solid tumors. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of the therapeutic regimen of toripalimab and JS004 plus chemotherapy in stage III NSCLC.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pathologic complete response (PCR) rate

PCR rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved pathologic complete response (on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining, no tumor cell can be found in tumor bed or lymph node) in all participants.

Time frame
Up to 30 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Objective response rate (ORR)

ORR is defined according to the RECIST v1.1 criteria.

Time frame
up to 30 months
2

Major pathologic response (MPR) rate

MPR rate 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.

Time frame
Up to 30 months
3

Treatment-related adverse event (TRAE)

TRAE is defined and classified according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 in all participants.

Time frame
Up to 30 months
4

Rate of conversion from potentially resectable to resectable

Rate of conversion from potentially resectable to resectable is defined as the proportion of participants with potentially resectable tumor conversed into resectable tumor in all participants with potentially resectable tumor.

Time frame
Up to 30 months
