Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18–75 with resectable stage IB–III non-squamous NSCLC, no EGFR or ALK alterations, ECOG performance status 0–1, measurable disease, and adequate organ function who can tolerate lung resection.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with EGFR mutations or ALK translocations, predominant squamous histology, symptomatic tumor invasion of critical structures, poor performance status, or insufficient organ function are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This randomized, open-label Phase 2 trial compares two neoadjuvant regimens—IBI363 plus platinum-based chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) plus platinum-based chemotherapy—in adults with resectable stage IB–III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who lack EGFR or ALK alterations. Participants receive planned cycles of pemetrexed with cisplatin or carboplatin combined with either IBI363 or pembrolizumab prior to radical surgical resection. Eligible patients are 18–75 years old with ECOG 0–1, at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1, and adequate organ function. The study tracks safety and anti-tumor activity to determine whether either regimen improves preoperative responses and surgical outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could shrink tumors more effectively before surgery and potentially improve recurrence-free and overall outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other trials combining PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors like pembrolizumab with chemotherapy before surgery have shown encouraging responses, while IBI363 is a newer investigational agent with limited published neoadjuvant data.
