Hypofractionated chemoradiotherapy with tislelizumab and surufatinib for unresectable stage III NSCLC
Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Hypofractionated Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Combined With Tislelizumab and Surufatinib in Patients With Unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT07609121 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding tislelizumab and surufatinib to hypofractionated chemoradiotherapy helps patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, compared to tislelizumab alone after radiotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18-75 with unresectable stage III NSCLC, no known driver mutations, good performance status, and adequate organ function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant comorbidities, poor performance status, or those not tolerating immunotherapy or targeted agents may not benefit and could experience treatment-related toxicity.

What this trial studies
This study is a randomized phase II trial enrolling adults with unresectable stage III NSCLC. Participants receive hypofractionated radiotherapy with chemotherapy and either (A) concurrent tislelizumab and surufatinib followed by consolidation with tislelizumab plus surufatinib, or (B) concurrent tislelizumab with radiotherapy followed by consolidation with tislelizumab. The trial aims to compare efficacy and safety between the two regimens. Eligible patients have good performance status, adequate organ function, and no known driver mutations. Primary outcomes likely include tumor response and safety, with secondary endpoints such as progression-free survival and overall survival.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination therapy could improve local control and survival for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies using immunotherapy with chemoradiation have shown promise, but combinations including tislelizumab and surufatinib in this setting are exploratory and data are emerging.
