Adebrelimab + Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable NSCLC

A Single-arm, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Study of Adebrelimab in Combination With Chemotherapy Neoadjuvant Therapy to Resect Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This study is a single arm, prospective, multicenter clinical trial, and eligible patients will receive the following treatment regimen: Adebrelimab combined with chemotherapy.The study includes a screening period (from the signing of informed consent by the subjects to no more than 28 days before the first medication, imaging examinations are allowed to be performed within 28 days before the first medication, and tumor tissue biopsy is allowed to be archived within 6 months before the first medication), a treatment period (including neoadjuvant and surgical treatment), and a follow-up period (including safety follow-up and survival follow-up).

9. Expected to be completely resected;

10. Good lung function can tolerate surgical treatment;

11. Female participants with fertility must undergo a pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 72 hours before starting the study medication, and the result must be negative. They must also be willing to use a medically recognized and effective contraceptive measure (such as intrauterine device, contraceptive pill, or condom) during the study period and within 90 days after the last administration of the study medication; For male participants whose partners are women of childbearing age, they must agree to use effective methods of contraception or have undergone surgical sterilization during the study period and within 90 days after the last study administration;

12. The subjects voluntarily joined this clinical study and signed an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previously received any anti-tumor treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor treatment (excluding treatment for malignant tumors that have been cured and have no recurrence or metastasis for ≥ 5 years);
2. Non squamous cell carcinoma histological types of NSCLC with EGFR mutation positive or ALK positive subjects. Non squamous cell carcinoma subjects must undergo EGFR gene testing and ALK gene and/or immunohistochemical testing;
3. Patients with distant metastases (including M1a, M1b, M1c);
4. Suffering from any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease (such as uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, myocarditis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (which can be included after hormone replacement therapy), tuberculosis); Skin diseases that have completely relieved childhood asthma and do not require any intervention or systemic treatment in adulthood (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or hair loss) can be included, but patients who require medical intervention with bronchodilators cannot be included;
5. Exclude evidence of past or current pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiological pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonia, imaging confirmed active pneumonia, and severe impairment of lung function;
6. Subjects who have received systemic therapy with corticosteroids (>10 mg/day of prednisone or other equivalent hormones) or other immunosuppressive agents within 2 weeks prior to their first administration. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhalation or topical use of corticosteroids is allowed, as well as adrenal hormone replacement therapy with a dose of ≤ 10 mg/day effective dose of prednisone;
7. Imaging (CT or MRI) shows tumor invasion into large blood vessels or blurred boundaries with blood vessels; Or imaging (CT or MRI) shows the presence of any pulmonary cavities or necrotic lesions, as determined by the researcher;
8. Individuals who have experienced arterial/venous thrombotic events within the first 6 months of enrollment, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including temporary ischemic attacks, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism;
9. Within the first 3 months of enrollment, there have been significant clinically significant bleeding symptoms or clear bleeding tendencies, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcers, etc., or they are currently receiving thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy;
10. Prior to enrollment, there was a daily hemoptysis volume of 100mL or more or a high risk of hemoptysis determined by the researcher;
11. Individuals with hypertension who cannot achieve good control with antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg); Grade II or above myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc interval ≥ 450ms for males and ≥ 470ms for females); According to NYHA standards, patients with grade III-IV cardiac dysfunction or those with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50% as indicated by cardiac ultrasound examination;
