About this study
Official title: Camrelizumab Plus Famitinib as Treatment in Patient With Advanced or Metastatic Pulmonary Sarcomatoid Carcinoma:A Multi-center, Single-arm Study
This is a single arm, multi-center clinical trial. Target population is patients with Advanced or Metastatic Pulmonary Sarcomatoid Carcinoma,aiming to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of Camrelizumab and famitinib . Camrelizumab is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody, and famitinib is an orally bioavailable receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitor.
Read the detailed description
This trial enrolled patients with advanced or metastatic pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma. Patients will receive camrelizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks and famitinib 20 mg once per day. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigators per RECIST version 1.1. Key secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response, and safety.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Camrelizumab and Famitinib in people with Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of Lung, run by Qian Chu at 8 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: about 24 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04888429, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2026.
