About this trial
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery has been recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced and resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its efficacy remains to be improved. Drugs targeting PD-1/PD-L1 pathway have been proven to be effective for late-stage NSCLC, and anti-angiogenesis agents targeting VEGF (bevacizumab) has also been used for the first line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Therefore, we conduct this single-arm clinical trial, which aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant sintilimab combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy followed by surgery in treating locally advanced and resectable NSCLC.
