Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–75 with histologically confirmed stage II–III resectable NSCLC, ECOG 0–1, EGFR/ALK negative or unknown (depending on histology), no prior systemic therapy, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and ability to consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-resectable disease after induction, contraindications to any study drug, or poor tolerability to the regimen 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 is a single-arm phase II study assessing preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with tislelizumab in combination with anlotinib and nab-paclitaxel for resectable stage II–III NSCLC. Participants receive the triplet therapy prior to planned surgery, with safety and efficacy monitored through perioperative assessment. The primary aim is to generate evidence on whether this combination can improve tumor response and facilitate curative resection. The study will provide insight into perioperative treatment strategies for NSCLC and potential implications for postoperative outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience higher tumor shrinkage rates and potentially better surgical outcomes with this neoadjuvant regimen.
How similar studies have gone: Early neoadjuvant combinations in NSCLC have shown signals of activity, but this exact triplet approach is investigational and results are not yet established.

Good organ function; • Patients have not received blood transfusion or growth factor support therapy ≤ 14 days prior to sample collection during the screening period and: Absolute neutral cell count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L Platelet ≥100 x 109/L Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L • Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) (Cockcroft-Gault formula) creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with Gilbert\&amp;#39;s syndrome must have total bilirubin \&amp;lt; 3 × ULN) AST and ALT≤ 2.5 x ULN Patients who did not receive anticoagulant therapy: International standardized ratio or activated partial thromboplastin time ≤ 1.5 × ULN 10. Women of childbearing age must take a serum pregnancy test within 3 days before the first medication, and the result is negative. Female subjects of reproductive age and male subjects whose partners are women of reproductive age must agree to use highly effective methods of contraception during the study period and for 120 days after the last dose of the study drug Exclusion Criteria: 1. A history of received treatment for current lung cancer, including radiotherapy and all systemic antitumor agents, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or antiangiogenic therapy. 2. Patients with known EGFR gene mutation, ALK rearrangement, ROS-1 fusion, RET fusion, HER-2 mutation, MET mutation, but if patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer, the EGFR mutation status and ALK mutation status are unknown, it is not required to conduct tests during screening 3. There are multiple factors influencing patients taking oral medication (such as inability to swallow, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction) 4. Allergy to any study drug (Tislelizumab, Anlotinib, albumin-bound Paclitaxel) or excipients. 5. Imaging shows that the tumor has invaded important blood vessels or the investigator judges that the tumor invasion of important blood vessels during treatment is likely to cause fatal bleeding. 6. Clinically significant hemoptysis (more than 50 ml per day) within 3 months before the study, or clinically significant bleeding symptoms or obvious bleeding tendency (such as gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric ulcer bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, fecal occult blood ++ and above baseline, or suffering from vasculitis, etc.). 7. Vaccination with attenuated live vaccines within 4 weeks before the first dose or planned vaccination during the study period. 8. Patients who are expected to be unable to tolerate surgery, such as those with cardiopulmonary insufficiency. 9. Occurrence of or concurrent other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for cured cervical carcinoma in situ, non-melanoma skin cancer, and superficial bladder tumors \[Ta (non-invasive tumor), Tis (carcinoma in situ), and T1 (tumor invading the basement membrane)\]. 10. Patients with active viral hepatitis requiring treatment as determined by the investigator. 11. Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment, or long-term use of high doses of steroids or other immunomodulators, which the investigator assesses as affecting the study treatment. 12. Unhealed surgical incisions before the start of study treatment (small biopsy incisions can be included). 13. Active hepatitis B/C infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 14. Arterial or venous thrombotic events within 6 months (such as cerebrovascular accident, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc.) or severe cardiovascular diseases: myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction above grade II, uncontrolled arrhythmias; heart failure above grade III-IV according to NYHA standards, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50% as indicated by echocardiography. 15. Interstitial lung disease, uncontrolled systemic medical history, including diabetes, hypertension, acute lung disease, etc. 16. Active bleeding or coagulation dysfunction (INR \> 2.0, PT \> 16s), bleeding tendency or receiving thrombolytic, anticoagulant, antiplatelet therapy; any major surgery requiring general anesthesia within ≤ 28 days before the first dose. 17. Underlying medical conditions or alcohol/drug abuse that are unfavorable for the administration of study drugs, may affect the interpretation of results, or pose a high risk of treatment complications.
