Efficacy and Safety of Microwave Ablation Combined With Camrelizumab and Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Multicenter, Open, Prospective Study

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment method for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a type of lung cancer that has spread and is harder to treat. The researchers want to see if combining microwave ablation (a procedure that uses heat to destroy cancer cells) with a drug called Camrelizumab and chemotherapy is effective and safe for patients. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but when it starts, they will be looking for adults between the ages of 18 and 75 who have certain types of NSCLC and haven’t had previous treatments for their cancer.

To participate, individuals should have a confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC, be in reasonably good health, and have measurable cancer that can be treated. Participants will need to sign a consent form, and they should be willing to follow certain health guidelines throughout the trial. This includes regular check-ups to monitor their health and the effectiveness of the treatment. It’s important to note that some people, such as those with specific health issues or previous cancer treatments, may not qualify for the study. If you or a loved one is considering participation, it’s a good idea to discuss this with a healthcare provider for more personalized information.

• • 2. EGFR/ALK mutation positive;
• • 3. There are high risk factors for local treatment complications such as bleeding, fistula and perforation;

• • 15. Patients whose imaging showed that the tumor had invaded important blood vessels or who were judged by the investigator to be highly likely to invade important blood vessels during the subsequent study and cause fatal massive bleeding;
