Study summary

Several published clinical trials have shown the superiority of immunotherapy in neoadjuvant setting. Here we conducted this real world study to see whether neoadjuvant immunotherapy would bring MPR and survival benefits in NSCLC, for example, single agent immunotherapy or immunotherapy combination with chemotherapy. Furthermore biomarker analysis would be also performed to achieve personalized neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. MPR

    To evaluate the major pathological response (MPR) rate of participants

    Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1

    Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks

  2. MPR based on diverse PD-L1 expression

    Percentage of Participants with Major Pathologic Response Rates For Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1)-Positive Versus PD-L1-Negative Participants

    Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events

    No delayed resection rate and incidence of adverse event (AE)/serious adverse event (SAE)

    Time frame: From the date of the first cycle of neoadjuvant treatment until 90 days after end of treatment, assessed up to 100 months

  4. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression Free Survival

    Time frame: From date of the first cycle of neoadjuvant treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Other outcomes

  1. Pathological Complete Response (pCR)

    Evaluation of the pathological complete response: The pathological complete response is defined as the absence of residual tumor in lung and lymph nodes in patients treated with chemo-immunotherapy versus patients treated with chemotherapy alone

    Time frame: From the date of surgery up to 10 weeks
