- Brief Summary
This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy befo...

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 3-year real-world event-free survival (rwEFS) From the date of randomization to the date of the first of the following events: failure to undergo resection for any reason, recurrence or progression at any time after surgery, or death from any cause, assessed at 3 years Time to event analyses will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method, where both the stratified and unstratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. For the primary analysis of 3-year rwEFS rate, we will compare the rwEFS curves at 3 years, using the difference in Kaplan-Meier estimates for the survival funct...
Overall survival (OS) From randomization until death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years Time to event analyses will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method, where both the stratified and unstratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rates of surgical resection Up to 10 years. Rates of resection will be tabulated and compared between the arms using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests. Univariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used to understand the impact of baseline covariates, resection status and systemic treatments on outcomes.
Rates of complete resection (R0) Up to 10 years. Rates of R0 resection will be tabulated and compared between the arms using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests. Univariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used to understand the impact of baseline covariates, resection status and systemic treatments on outcomes.
Incidence of adverse events (AEs) Up to 10 years. Adverse events will be recorded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 for each patient. Frequency tables and summary statistics will be used to determine the overall patterns within and across the arms.
Pathological complete response (pCR) Up to 10 years Pathologic complete response is defined as having no viable invasive cancer in the lung and lymph nodes (ypT0 ypN0 or ypT0/is ypN0) based on guidelines published by National Comprehensive Cancer Network and International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. Cox regression models will be used to evaluate the association between pCR and rwEFS in periopera...
