Ivonescimab in Neoadjuvant NSCLC: Testing a PD-1/VEGF Bi-specific

Official title: Mechanisms of Enhanced Efficacy of Ivonescimab in Neoadjuvant Therapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT07359040 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests Ivonescimab, a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, in people with non-small cell lung cancer to see if it works better or has different safety than standard PD-1 inhibitors before surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with stage IB-IIIB NSCLC who require radical surgery after neoadjuvant therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with unresectable disease, non-NSCLC histologies, or contraindications to neoadjuvant therapy may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study compares Ivonescimab with conventional PD-1 inhibitors when used as neoadjuvant therapy for NSCLC. It aims to explore not only efficacy and safety but also the mechanisms behind Ivonescimab’s potential enhanced effect. Secondary analyses include biomarker identification and multi-omics profiling to understand predictors of response and the drug’s molecular action in the tumor microenvironment. The work intends to support precision medicine strategies and rational clinical use of Ivonescimab in resectable NSCLC. The study is conducted at Peking University People’s Hospital in Beijing, China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, Ivonescimab could offer improved tumor response prior to surgery and personalized treatment approaches for NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: Early research on PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibodies suggests potential benefits, but results are still exploratory and context-dependent.
