Concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment for patients with locally advanced NSCLC, but patients receiving chemoradiotherapy have limited improvement in prognosis and are almost impossible to achieve a radical cure. Considering the excellent effect of immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy in NSCLC, we designed this single-arm clinical study, which aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of sintilimab combined with anlotinib therapy for patients with initially unresectable stage II-III NSCLC, in order to enable patients to achieve further surgical treatment and prolonged survival.
Concurrent or sequential chemoradiotherapy has been recommended as the standard treatment for locally advanced and unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its efficacy remains to be improved. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been proven to be effective for late-stage NSCLC, and anti-angiogenesis agents have also been used for the first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Therefore, we designed this single-arm clinical trial, which aims to investigate the safety and feasibility of sintilimab combined with anlotinib therapy for patients with initially unresectable stage II-III NSCLC.
