About this trial
This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase II clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of low-dose radiation therapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor (sintilimab) and standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy versus PD-1 inhibitor (sintilimab) combined with standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous cell lung cancer.
There will be 57 subjects in the experimental group and 57 subjects in the control group, with a total of 114 subjects.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 75 years old;
Histologically or cytologically confirmed squamous cell lung cancer, imaging confirmed locally advanced or metastatic disease (unresectable or not eligible for definitive chemoradiotherapy, stage IIIB-IV);
According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1), there is at least one imaging measurable lesion;
Enough to provide quality control qualified tumor tissue or cell wax blocks to detect PD-L1 expression;
Disqualifiers
The pathology is small cell lung cancer (SCLC), including lung cancer mixed with SCLC and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC);
The pathology is lung adenocarcinoma, including lung cancer mixed with lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma;
EGFR gene sensitive mutation or ALK fusion positive or ROS1 fusion positive;
Previously received the following therapies: anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-L2 drugs or another drug that stimulates or synergistically inhibits T cell receptors;

Treatments tested in this trial
low-dose radiation therapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy
RadiationPatients will receive radiation therapy.
chemotherapy
DrugPatients will receive sintilimab combined with standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy for a total of 4 cycles. Patients subsequently received maintenance treatment with sintilimab, and continued treatment until disease progression (PD), intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of other anti-tumor treatments, death, or other circumstances that should stop treatment as specified in the protocol. Whichever occurs first. The maximum treatment time with sintilimab is 24 months (or 35 cycles).
Sintilimab
DrugPatients will receive sintilimab combined with standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy for a total of 4 cycles. Patients subsequently received maintenance treatment with sintilimab, and continued treatment until disease progression (PD), intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of other anti-tumor treatments, death, or other circumstances that should stop treatment as specified in the protocol. Whichever occurs first. The maximum treatment time with sintilimab is 24 months (or 35 cycles).
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
objective response rate (ORR)
The proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) in the analyzed population as judged by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. ORR = (number of subjects with CR + PR) / total number of subjects \* 100%.
Secondary outcomes
6-month PFS rate
The 6-month PFS rate is defined as the proportion of patients who did not experience disease progression or death from any cause at the time of 6 months.
1-year PFS rate
The 1-year PFS rate is defined as the proportion of patients who did not experience disease progression or death from any cause at the time of 1 year.
overall survival(OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to the death of the subject from any cause.
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to first imaging disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
