Treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer
Official title: A Multicenter Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant IBI308, Bevacizumab, Plus Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Followed by Surgery in Patients With Unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT03872661 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new combination treatment for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can't be surgically removed, to see if it works better than the usual options before surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer who meet specific health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with previously detected sensitizing EGFR mutations or ALK fusion oncogenes may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of a combination treatment involving IBI308, bevacizumab, pemetrexed, and carboplatin, followed by surgery in patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim is to evaluate how well this neoadjuvant therapy works compared to standard treatments. Participants will receive the combination therapy before undergoing surgical intervention, with the goal of improving outcomes for this challenging cancer stage.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve survival rates and treatment outcomes for patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combination therapies in treating advanced lung cancer, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * Target population is unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. * Written informed consent provided. * Subjects should not have a previously detected sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK fusion oncogene. * Male and female patients aged ≥18 years, \< 75 years. * Able to comply with the required protocol and follow-up procedures, and able to receive oral medications. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. * Life expectancy ≥12 weeks. * Adequate hematological function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥2.0 x 109/L, and Platelet count ≥100 x 109/L, and Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (may be transfused to maintain or exceed this level). * Adequate liver function: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN in subjects without liver metastases; ≤ 5 x ULN in subjects with liver metastases. * Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.25 x ULN, or ≥ 60 ml/min. * Female subjects should not be pregnant or breast-feeding. Exclusion Criteria: * Known severe hypersensitivity to IBI308 or any of the excipients of this product. * Prior therapy with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody (including any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways). * Prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy. * Subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects in conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger, or not requiring systemic treatment are permitted to enroll. * Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days of first administration of study treatment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses \> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease. * Inability to comply with protocol or study procedures. * A serious concomitant systemic disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to complete the study. * A serious cardiac condition, such as myocardial infarction within 6 months, angina, or heart disease. * History of another malignancy in the last 5 years with the exception of the following: other malignancies cured by surgery alone and having a continuous disease-free interval of 5 years are permitted. Cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cured in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix are permitted. * Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous year, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease). * Patient who has active serious infection (e.g. pyrexia of or 38.0℃ over) * Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). * Known history of active Hepatitis B or C. * Women who are pregnant or nursing. * Evidence of any other disease, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicated the use of an investigational drug or puts the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
