Comparing outcomes of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer

Neoadjuvant Treatment Real-world Clinical Outcomes in NSCLC: A Retrospective Multi-center Study (NeoR-World)

Observational Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT05974007

This study is trying to see if a new type of treatment called immunochemotherapy works better than traditional chemotherapy for people with operable non-small cell lung cancer.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to gather real-world data on the clinical outcomes of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy compared to traditional neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). By analyzing a multi-center retrospective cohort, the study will evaluate pathologic response rates and overall survival, while also exploring the impact of various clinicopathological factors on these outcomes. The goal is to identify potential beneficiaries of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and optimize treatment strategies based on real-world evidence.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 85 with a confirmed diagnosis of stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer who have undergone neoadjuvant immunotherapy or chemotherapy followed by radical surgery.

Not a fit: Patients with prior surgeries, radiotherapy, or systemic therapy for NSCLC, as well as those participating in other clinical trials, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, potentially improving treatment options for patients with NSCLC.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited real-world data on this specific approach, similar studies have shown promise in evaluating the effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapies in lung cancer.
