Combining serplulimab with chemotherapy for lung cancer treatment

A Prospective, Single-arm, Single-center, Exploratory Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Serplulimab Combined With Chemotherapy in Patients With Resectable Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2 Interventional Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University · NCT05882513

This study is testing if combining a new immunotherapy drug called serplulimab with chemotherapy can help people with lung cancer live longer and reduce the chances of their cancer coming back after surgery.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of serplulimab, an immunotherapy drug, combined with chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to improve postoperative survival rates and reduce the risk of tumor recurrence by utilizing this combination therapy before surgical resection. Participants will undergo treatment followed by surgery, with tumor samples collected for analysis. The trial is conducted at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University in China, where the incidence of NSCLC is notably high.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with histologically confirmed, resectable non-small cell lung cancer at clinical stages IIA-IIIB.

Not a fit: Patients with significant cardiovascular disease, distant metastases, or a history of autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly enhance survival rates and reduce recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Preliminary results from other studies using PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy have shown promising outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
