Exploring biomarkers for neoadjuvant immunotherapy in lung cancer
Official title: A Biomarker Study for Predicting the Response of Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Based on Circulating Tumor DNA and Homologous Recombination Deficiency Analysis
Run by Geneplus-Beijing Co. Ltd. · NCT05965557 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find out if certain biological markers in patients with advanced lung cancer can help predict how well a new immunotherapy treatment will work before surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who are EGFR and ALK negative.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a history of other malignancies within the past 5 years or those with autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to identify predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are stage II-IIIB and driver-negative. It will prospectively collect data from patients scheduled for neoadjuvant immunotherapy and surgical resection, focusing on homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) as a potential biomarker. Additionally, blood samples will be analyzed for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to assess its correlation with treatment efficacy and patient prognosis. The goal is to validate the predictive value of these biomarkers in a larger cohort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies for patients with lung cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using HRD and ctDNA as predictive markers is promising, it requires validation in larger cohorts, indicating that this area is still under exploration.
