In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective study aims to investigate whether the time of day when immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are administered affects the efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in patients with resectable stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible patients will receive standard-of-care neoadjuvant ICI plus platinum-based chemotherapy and be randomly assigned to either a morning infusion group (08:00-11:00) or an afternoon infusion group (15:00-18:00). The primary objective is to compare the pathological complete response (pCR) rates between groups. Secondary outcomes include major pathological response (MPR) and event-free survival (EFS). The study will include independent imaging and pathology review for endpoint assessment.

Deemed suitable for neoadjuvant immunotherapy combined with platinum-based chemotherapy and subsequent surgical resection based on multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessment. 4. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1. 5. No prior systemic antitumor therapy for the current NSCLC diagnosis. 6. Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, renal, and cardiac function based on local laboratory standards. 7. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, and other study procedures. 8. Signed informed consent prior to participation. Exclusion Criteria: Participants meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded: 1. Presence of EGFR-sensitive mutations (e.g., exon 19del, L858R) or ALK/ROS1 rearrangements. 2. Presence of uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases. 3. History of any other malignancy within 3 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or cervical carcinoma in situ. 4. History of prior systemic therapy (immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy) for lung cancer. 5. Known severe allergic reactions to PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors (Grade โ‰ฅ3 by CTCAE). 6. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression. 7. Active infections, including active HBV, HCV, or HIV infection. 8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women. 9. Any comorbid condition or uncontrolled illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with study participation or pose unacceptable risk.
