The aim of this clinical trial is to understand whether spatial fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) in combination with tislelizumab and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy given concurrently as induction treatment is effective in treating initially unresectable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It will also explore the safety of this treatment modality. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Will spatial fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) in combination with tislelizumab and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy given concurrently as induction treatment increase the surgical resection rate of patients with initially unresectable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer? What adverse reactions will patients experience when receiving spatial fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) in combination with tislelizumab and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy given concurrently as induction treatment?
Research Title: A Clinical Study on Induction Treatment with Spatial Fractionated Radiotherapy (SFRT) Concurrent with Tislelizumab Plus Platinum-based Doublet Chemotherapy for Initially Unresectable Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Research Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of induction treatment with spatial fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT) concurrent with tislelizumab plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy for initially unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Design Type: Interventional Study Research Subjects: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed by pathological histology or cytology, staged as stage III (T3 - 4N1 - 2M0) according to the 8th edition of AJCC, defined as initially unresectable by the multidisciplinary team (MDT), without known EGFR and ALK mutations, aged ≥ 18 years old, with an ECOG PS score of 0 - 1.
Sample Size: 30 cases
Exclusion Criteria:
SFRT concurrent with immunochemotherapy is given q3w for 3 cycles. Here are details: Radiotherapy: Select several 1 - cm - diameter spherical areas in the primary tumor's hypoxic region, 1.5 - 2 cm apart. Each area receives a single 12 - Gy high - dose radiotherapy, precisely targeting the hypoxic part to enhance the effect. Chemotherapy \& Immunotherapy: 1 - 3 days after radiotherapy, combine 200 mg of tislelizumab with platinum - based doublet chemotherapy. NSCLC chemo - drug combos vary by pathology. For adenocarcinoma, use pemetrexed (500 mg/m² d1) + carboplatin (AUC 5, d1). For other types, use albumin - bound paclitaxel (100 mg/m² d1,8) + carboplatin (AUC 5, d1).
Other: Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy (SFRT) · Drug: Tislelizumab, Carboplatin, Pemetrexed · Drug: Tislelizumab, paclitaxel, Carboplatin
Several spherical volumes (with a diameter of 1 cm) are selected within the hypoxic area of the primary tumor. The distance between each spherical volume is 1.5 - 2 cm, and a high-dose radiotherapy of 12 Gy × 1F is delivered.
For adenocarcinoma, pemetrexed (500 mg/m², day 1) + carboplatin (AUC 5, day 1) is used.
For NSCLC with pathological types other than adenocarcinoma, nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m² on day 1 and day 8) + carboplatin (AUC 5, day 1) is used.
