AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with non-small-cell lung cancer (stage IB, II or select IIIA) whose tumour was fully removed by surgery. It tests toripalimab guided by a blood test for leftover tumour DNA.

Age
18 to 75 years
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Stage IB, II or select IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (squamous or non-squamous), completely removed by surgery (R0), with no spread to other organs.
Earlier treatment
Surgery for lung cancer must have been done 60 days or less before study treatment. No earlier systemic anti-cancer treatment for NSCLC.
Biomarker or test result
For non-squamous cancer: no EGFR or ALK changes. EGFR and ALK status must be known.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Known EGFR sensitive mutation or ALK translocation
  • Autoimmune disease or immunodeficiency (with a few exceptions)
  • Known HIV or AIDS, or active hepatitis B or C
  • Active interstitial lung disease
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women

The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 26 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Subjects must have undergone complete surgical resection (R0) of their stage IB , II and select IIIA NSCLC according to the AJCC 8th edition staging
  • Squamous or non-squamous NSCLC histology
  • Subjects should be without EGFR or ALK alterations for nonsquamous NSCLC
  • Male and female, aged 18-75 years
  • Surgery for lung cancer must be completed ≤ 60 days prior to study treatment
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1
  • 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
  • Adequate renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.25 x ULN, or ≥ 60 ml/min
  • Female subjects should not be pregnant or breast-feeding
  • Written informed consent provided. Being willing and able to comply with the visits, treatment plan, laboratory examinations and other study procedures scheduled in the study

Who cannot take part

  • Previous treatment with systemic antitumor therapy for NSCLC
  • Vaccination of live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose
  • Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, active tuberculosis uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous year, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease)
  • A serious concomitant systemic disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to complete the study and may confuse the study results
  • Not R0 resection, or metastatic disease
  • Severe allergic reaction to other monoclonal antibodies
  • Subjects with any known or suspected autoimmune disorder or immunodeficiency, with the following exceptions: hypothyroidism, hormone therapy is not needed, or well controlled at physiological dose; controlled type I diabetes
  • Evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease
  • Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • 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
  • Ingredients mixed with small cell lung cancer patients
  • Subjects with known EGFR sensitive mutations or ALK translocation, EGFR and ALK mutation status needs to be identified for the subjects with non-squamous NSCLC
  • Uncontrolled active hepatitis B (defined as positive hepatitis B surface antigen in screening period with HBV-DNA detected higher than the upper limit of normal at the clinical laboratory of the study center); active hepatitis C (defined as positive hepatitis C surface antibody in screening period and positive HCV-RNA)
  • Inability to comply with protocol or study procedures
  • Women who are pregnant or nursing

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This study aims to incorporate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-minimal residual disease (MRD) to personalize the administration of consolidation toripalimab therapy in resected stage IB-IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after adjuvant therapy. Toripalimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody for human programmed cell death protein 1. Toripalimab was approved as a consolidation treatment after perioperative therapy in combination with chemotherapy for resectable stage III NSCLC.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Observation for undetectable ctDNA after adjuvant therapyTreatment being tested

    Observation follow-up for patients with undetectable ctDNA after 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy plus toripalimab.

    Treatment: Toripalimab+Chemotherapy

  • Consolidation toripalimab for detectable ctDNA after adjuvant therapyExisting treatment, for comparison

    Consolidation toripalimab therapy for up to 13 cycles for patients with detectable ctDNA after 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy plus toripalimab.

    Treatment: Toripalimab+Chemotherapy followed by consolidation toripalimab

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
