Treatment for resectable non-small cell lung cancer using Sindilizumab and chemotherapy

A Randomized, Double-blind, Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Sindilizumab Combined With Chemotherapy or Placebo Combined With Chemotherapy for Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Therapy for Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (ORIENT-99)

Phase 3 Interventional Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. · NCT05116462

This study is testing if adding Sindilizumab to chemotherapy can help people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer feel better and improve their treatment results compared to just chemotherapy with a placebo.

What this trial studies

This Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sindilizumab when combined with chemotherapy compared to a placebo with chemotherapy in patients with resectable Stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the treatment or placebo in a double-blind manner. The study aims to determine if this combination therapy can improve patient outcomes in terms of efficacy and safety. The trial will include patients who are eligible based on specific criteria related to their cancer stage and overall health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed resectable Stage II, IIIA, or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

Not a fit: Patients with confirmed or suspected brain metastases or those currently participating in another interventional clinical study may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar immunotherapy approaches in lung cancer, suggesting potential for success in this trial.
