New drug cocktail aims to shrink lung tumors before surgery

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Subjects who agree to provide archived tumor tissue specimens that meet the testing requirements (either from the most recent surgery or biopsy, preferably within 2 years) or agree to undergo a biopsy to collect tumor tissue for PD-L1 expression testing; Note: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor samples (paraffin blocks or unstained sections, which must meet the quality control criteria for testing) from the most recent surgery or biopsy at or after the diagnosis of malignant tumor and pathological reports of such specimens should be provided by subjects. * 8\. The following conditions must be met in terms of the time of the first administration of the investigational product: at least 3 weeks from the previous major surgery or medical device treatment; at least 1 week from the previous minor surgery; recovery of treatment-induced AEs to Grade ≤ 1 (CTCAE v5.0); * 9\. ECOG PS score of 0-1 within one week prior to randomization; * 10\. Life expectancy \> 3 months; * 11\. Adequate organ functions as confirmed by laboratory tests within 1 week prior to randomization (no blood transfusions or treatment with albumin, recombinant human thrombopoietin, or colony-stimulating factor (CSF) within 14 days prior to the first dose)； * 12\. Male and female subjects with childbearing potential must agree to use at least one highly effective contraception method during the study and within at least 6 months after the last dose of the investigational product; female subjects of childbearing age must be negative for pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Histologically or cytologically confirmed tumor containing components of small cell lung cancer or neuroendocrine carcinoma; * 2\. Any prior systemic or local anti-tumor therapy for non-small cell lung cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy; * 3\. History of any second malignancy within 2 years prior to randomization, except for early-stage malignancies (carcinoma in situ or stage I tumors) that have received radical treatment, such as non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast, and papillary thyroid carcinoma; * 4\. History of adverse events leading to permanent discontinuation of immunotherapy, or history of ≥ Grade 2 immune-related pneumonitis or immune-related myocarditis; * 5\. Subjects with current or prior history of clinically significant pulmonary impairment due to pulmonary comorbidities, including but not limited to any underlying lung disease (e.g., pulmonary embolism within 3 months prior to the first dose, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, interstitial pneumonitis, pneumoconiosis, drug-related pneumonitis, and pleural effusion), any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disease that may involve the lungs (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis), prior pneumonectomy that may interfere with the detection and management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity, or history of radiation pneumonitis within 6 months; * 6\. Patients with any poorly-controlled cardiovascular and cerebrovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA Class II or greater heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%; (2) unstable angina pectoris; (3) myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months (except lacunar infarction, slight cerebral ischemia, or transient ischemic attack); (4) poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc interval ≥ 470 ms) (QTc interval is calculated by Fridericia's formula); (5) poorly-controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg after active treatment); * 7\. Patients with active systemic infectious diseases requiring intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to randomization; * 8\. Patients who have previously received other antibodies/drugs against immune checkpoints, such as PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA4, etc.; * 9\. Patients who have used moderate or potent CYP2D6 or CYP3A inhibitors or inducers within 2 weeks prior to randomization; * 10\. Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids (prednisone \> 10 mg/d or equivalent dose of similar drug) or other immunosuppressants within 2 weeks prior to randomization; Except: patients treated with topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids; short-term prophylactic use of corticosteroids for contrast agents, etc.; * 11\. Patients with known active or suspected autoimmune diseases. Patients with autoimmune-related hypothyroidism and receiving thyroid hormone replacement therapy and those with type 1 diabetes mellitus controlled with insulin therapy are eligible to be enrolled; * 12\. Patients who have received a live vaccine or live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization; * 13\. Patients who are known to have anaphylaxis to macromolecular protein preparations/monoclonal antibodies or are allergic to any component in the formulation of the investigational product; * 14\. Patients with active tuberculosis; * 15\. Patients with a history of immunodeficiency, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiencies, or history of organ transplantation; * 16\. Patients with active HBV or HCV infection or HBV/HCV co-infection; Note: Patients who test positive for HBsAg or HBcAb during the screening period must undergo further HBV-DNA testing, and may be enrolled only if the test result indicates \< 500 IU/mL, \< 2500 copies/mL, or \< ULN. Patients with detectable HBV-DNA must agree to receive treatment with anti-HBV nucleos(t)ide analogs during the study. Patients who test positive for HCV antibody must undergo further HCV-RNA testing, and may be enrolled only if the test result indicates \< ULN. Patients with HBV/HCV co-infection (positive test for HBsAg or HBcAb and positive test for HCV antibody) should be excluded. * 17\. Pregnant or lactating women; * 18\. Patients who are not suitable for participating in this clinical study due to any clinical or laboratory abnormalities or other reasons as assessed by the investigator.
