Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: definitive radiotherapy
Drug: induction chemo-immunotherapy
Drug: concurrent chemotherapy
Drug: Immunotheapy consolidation
Registration Number
NCT06139419
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

This prospective phase II randomized study is to determine the impact of thymosin alpha-1 on the concurrent chemoradiotherpay followed by immunotherapy consolidation in patients with locally advanced NSCLC by assessing the survival outcomes, treatment responses and toxicities.

Detailed Description

This prospective phase II randomized study is to determine the impact of thymosin alpha-1 on the concurrent chemoradiotherpay followed by immunotherapy consolidation in patients with locally advanced NSCLC by assessing the survival outcomes, treatment responses and toxicities.

Patients with locally advanced NSCLC who will receive concurrent radiochemotherapy followed by immunotherapy consolidation will be randomly divided into two groups (concurrent Tα1 treatment group and control group \[in which Tα1 will not be used\]), and the overall survivals, progression-free survivals (PFS), completion rate of immunotherapy consolidation, toxicities/adverse effects, and peripheral blood immune biomarkers will be compared between these two groups.
