A Phase 2 interventional study of tislelizumab in combination with anlotinib and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in NSCLC (Non-small Cell Lung Cancer), Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy and Adjuvant Immunotherapy, sponsored by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-06-29.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tislelizumab in combination with anlotinib and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy works to treat for resectable stage II-IIIB driver gene-negative NSCLC. It will also learn about the safety of tislelizumab in combination with anlotinib and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC, potentially resectable, driver gene negative (II- IIIB stage), and without prior systemic treatment, who have signed the informed consent, will be screened for inclusion. After receiving 4 cycles of tislelizumab combined with anlotinib and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, the subjects will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) to determine whether to proceed with radical surgical resection. The surgery will be performed within 3 to 7 weeks after the last neoadjuvant treatment. Postoperatively, patients will be divided into two subgroups based on the pathological results: For patients with postoperative pathological pCR, tislelizumab monotherapy will be used for maintenance treatment; For patients with postoperative pathological non-pCR, tislelizumab combined with anlotinib will be used for maintenance treatment. Both groups will continue treatment until disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of other anti-tumor therapy, death, or other situations specified in the protocol that require treatment cessation, whichever occurs first. The maximum treatment duration is 12 months. Survival and safety assessments will be continuously conducted thereafter.

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) rate
Pathological complete response (pCR) is measured as the percentage of participants with a pathological complete response as assessed by the central pathologist at the time of definitive surgery. pCR is defined as having no residual invasive squamous cell carcinoma within the resected primary tumor specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes.
Time frame: Up to ~64 months
Major Pathological Response (mPR) rate
The percentage of participants with a major pathological response (mPR) as assessed by the Central Pathologist at the time of definitive surgery. mPR is defined as ≤10% invasive squamous cell carcinoma within the resected primary tumor specimen and all the sampled regional lymph nodes.
Time frame: Up to ~64 months
Event-free Survival (EFS)
EFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of first record of any of the following events: radiographic disease progression; local or distant progression or recurrence as assessed with imaging or biopsy as indicated; or death due to any cause. Radiographic disease progression during neoadjuvant phase that precludes surgery will be considered an event; a secondary malignancy will not be considered an event.
Time frame: Up to ~80 months
Disease-free survival (DFS)
defined as the period from the first day after radical surgery (when the disease is confirmed to be cured) to local recurrence or distant metastasis or the time of death for any reason was determined by the investigator during the period of adjuvant therapy and safety follow-up, whichever occurred first.Only patients who underwent R0 resection will be analyzed.
Time frame: Up to ~80 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
defined as the proportion of all patients with measurable disease at baseline as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The proportion of patients achieving complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) among the patients
Time frame: Up to ~64 months
Overall survival (OS)
It is defined as the time from the date of patient enrollment to the date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to ~92 months
Percentage of Participants Experiencing An Adverse Event (AEs)
Percentage of participants experiencing any sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study therapy and irrespective of causality to study therapy
Time frame: From time of first dose of study treatment until the end of follow-up (up to ~92 months)
