Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit

✕Probably not a fit
Patients with resectable stage III NSCLC or those outside the specified age range may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Tislelizumab combined with recombinant human endostatin and chemotherapy in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter phase II study aimed at assessing the surgical conversion rate for patients initially deemed unresectable. Participants will receive neoadjuvant therapy followed by potential surgery and adjuvant therapy. The study focuses on improving treatment outcomes for this challenging cancer stage.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could increase the chances of surgical resection for patients with advanced lung cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific combination of therapies is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
Who can join: the full rules
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
1. Have fully understood the study and voluntarily signed the informed consent;
2. Age 18-75 years old, gender is not limited;
3. Histologically confirmed Stage III initial unresectable squamous or non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (AJCC Stage 8th edition)
\- Unresectable stage III NSCLC mainly refers to imaging or lymph node pathological evidence: Multiple metastases of ipsilateral mediastinal lymph nodes fused into masses or multisite metastases (IIIA: T1-2N2 or IIIB: T3-4N2); metastases to the contralateral hilar, mediastinal lymph nodes, or to the same, contralateral scalene, or supraclavicular lymph nodes (IIIB: T1-2N3, IIIC: T3-4N3); lesion invasion of important organs (including diaphragm, mediastinum, great blood vessels, trachea, recurrent laryngeal nerve, esophagus, or satellite nodules in different pulmonary lobes on the same side of the primary tumor, resulting in clinician determination that R0 resection could not be performed) (IIIA: T4N0-1); Determination of o N2/N3 lymph node involvement: PET-CT was used to confirm lymph node status. In cases where PET-CT is insufficient to determine lymph node staging (for example, lymph node diameter \<2cm), pathologic confirmation (EBUS/EUS/ thoracoscopic/mediastinoscopy or fine needle aspiration biopsy) is performed by the investigator to select appropriate lymph nodes to determine the staging.
Clinical evaluation of unresectable Stage III NSCLC: Other clinicians determine that R0 resection is not feasible or that a total lung resection is required to achieve R0 resection.
4. At least 1 measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1;
5. ECOG score 0-1;

* Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L
• Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) (Cockcroft-Gault formula)
* Patients scheduled to receive cisplatin: creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

10. Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment in patients assessed by the investigator as having an impact on investigational treatment.
11. Patients with interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonia, or other diseases that are not under control, including diabetes, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, etc., that the investigators have assessed as having an impact on the study treatment.

The Investigator considers that there are other potential risks that are not suitable for participation in the study.
