Tislelizumab Plus Chemotherapy and BACE for Unresectable NSCLC

Tislelizumab Combined With Intravenous Chemotherapy and Bronchial Artery Chemoembolization as Conversion Therapy for Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multicenter, Single-Arm, Phase II Trial (BEACON-Lung)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this phase 2 trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with intravenous chemotherapy and bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) as conversion therapy for patients with initially unresectable stage IIIA-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the 1-year event-free survival (EFS) rate with this treatment? * Can this treatment improve tumor response and the chance of curative-intent resection? * What adverse events occur during treatment? Participants will receive tislelizumab, intravenous chemotherapy, and BACE for up to 4 cycles. Tumor response and resectability will be evaluated by imaging and multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessment every 2 cycles. Participants who become resectable may undergo surgery followed by postoperative treatment per protocol. Participants who remain unresectable after 4 cycles will receive guideline-recommended chemoradiotherapy followed by tislelizumab consolidation. Regular follow-up will be performed for efficacy and safety assessment.

  • Severe chronic or active infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy, including active tuberculosis
  • Any medical condition, alcohol or drug abuse, or dependence that may interfere with study treatment, interpretation of results, or increase treatment risk
  • Psychiatric illness or history of psychotropic drug abuse that may compromise study participation
  • Any condition judged by the investigator to make the patient unsuitable for the study

Lab values

  • Known positive driver genomic alterations, including EGFR mutations, ALK rearrangements, ROS1 rearrangements, and MET exon 14 skipping alterations

Other
