ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to personalize lung cancer treatment for patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had surgery to remove their tumors. The researchers want to see if using a special test that looks for tiny pieces of cancer DNA in the blood (called circulating tumor DNA or ctDNA) can help determine the best timing and approach for giving a drug called toripalimab. Toripalimab is a treatment that helps the body's immune system fight cancer and is already used after surgery and chemotherapy for certain lung cancer patients.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be between 18 and 75 years old, have had successful surgery to remove their lung cancer, and not have specific genetic alterations in their cancer. They also need to be in decent health overall, meaning they should be able to perform daily activities without major issues. If someone joins the study, they can expect to receive regular treatments and follow-ups to monitor their health and response to the therapy. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to find out if this personalized approach can improve outcomes for lung cancer patients.

• • 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.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Not R0 resection, or metastatic disease.
• • 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;
• • Previous treatment with systemic antitumor therapy for NSCLC;
• • 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;
• • 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);
• • Vaccination of live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose;
• • Evidence of clinically active interstitial lung disease;
• • Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS);
• • Inability to comply with protocol or study procedures;
• • 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;
• • 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.
