About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trials Comparing Immunotherapy Plus Cryoablation (I-CA) Versus Cryoablation Alone for Stage I, Selected Stage IIa, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Cryoablation is a minimally invasive technique that utilizes very low temperature to eliminate tumour cells for patients ineligible for surgery. It has been reported that cryoablation may enhance immune response and synergize with immunotherapy.

This study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, exploratory trial, and is expected to enroll a total of 134 patients. The enrolled patients were stage Ia, Ib, or IIa lung cancer with negative driver gene mutations, who are considered high-risk for surgery or refuse surgery based on multidisciplinary evaluation. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either cryoablation alone (CA group) or cryoablation combined with immunotherapy (I-CA group). The study aims to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of combining immunotherapy with cryoablation in the treatment of early-stage NSCLC by comparing progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and the incidence of adverse events between the two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CryoablationProcedure or surgery

    Patients undergo cryoablation.

  • SerplulimabDrug

    Patients undergo cryoablation. If there are no significant postoperative complications, Serplulimab should be administered immediately. Cycles with Serplulimab repeat every 3 weeks for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 3-year progression-free survival (PFS)

    This refers to the length of time between the participant's first onset of disease progression or death from any cause after treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The percentage of patients that achieve complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) after treatment.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    The time from the start of treatment to the patient's death or the last follow-up, with a maximum observation period of 5 years from randomization.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Adverse events include those related to the cryoablation procedure occurring during or after the procedure, as well as drug-related adverse events caused by immunotherapy.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Potential Predictive and Immunological Biomarkers (lymphocyte phenotypes, PD-L1 expression, cytokines)

    This refers to the changes from baseline in the immunological responses following the cryoablation (with or without Serplulimab) and comparison between the two groups, including the percentage and function of lymphocyte phenotypes, the expression of PD-L1, the concentration of IFN-γ levels, etc.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cryoablation and Serplulimab in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Shanghai Chest Hospital at 5 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 8 inclusion and 9 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jiayuan Sun (+86-021-22200000 ext. 1511, jysun1976@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

3-year progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Aug 2024.
