Phase 2
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05784974
Lead Sponsor
The First Hospital of Jilin University
Brief Summary

Cadonilimab, a tetravalent bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, is designed to retain the efficacy benefit of combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 and improve on the safety profile of the combination therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cadonilimab monotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with resectable stage II-IIIA squamous cell lung cancer.

GroupInterventionDescription
CadonilimabCadonilimabParticipants receive two cycles of Cadonilimab as neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgery; followed by surgery; followed by standard adjuvant chemotherapy +/- adjuvant Cadonilimab for 6 months.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major Pathological Response (MPR) RateAfter surgery (approximately 7 weeks)

defined as the percentage of participants having ≤10% viable tumor cells in the resected primary tumor and all resected lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease Free Survival (DFS)Up to approximately 5 years

defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to disease progression per RECIST 1.1 that precludes surgery, local or distant recurrence, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Adverse Events (AEs)From the first dose of neoadjuvant treatment until 90 days after the last dose of adjuvant treatment
Complete (R0) Resection RateAfter surgery (approximately 7 weeks)

defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete surgical resection following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) RateAfter surgery (approximately 7 weeks)

defined as the percentage of participants having an absence of residual invasive cancer in resected lung specimens and lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy

Objective Response Rate (ORR)At the end of 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (each cycle is 21 days)

defined as the percentage of participants having complete response or partial response to protocol treatment. Objective response will be measured by RECIST 1.1.
