tislelizumab in addition to bace in patients with nsclc

Conditions: NSCLC

Summary: this is a single-arm phase ii trial to determine the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in addition to bronchial arterial chemoembolization in stage iii-ⅳ nsclc patients who failed, refused or ineligible to receive standard treatments.

bronchial artery chemoembolization (bace) is a technique of drug delivery and embolization performed via injecting anti-tumor drugs with drug carriers and implanting the embolization agents into the tumor feeding artery, promoting the clinical outcomes of patients and providing a palliative treatment option for patients with nsclc. while the short-term effect of bace is good, it is easy to relapse and metastasize. the rapid development of immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors represented by pd-1/l1 monoclonal antibody has changed the treatment pattern of nsclc. the publication of early research data repeatedly verified the long-term survival benefit characteristics of pd-1/l1 in nsclc. tislelizumab is an investigational humanized igg4 monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity for pd-1. tislelizumab was engineered to minimize binding to fcγr on macrophages in order to limit antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a potential mechanism of resistance to anti-pd-1 therapy. tislelizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced sclc and nsclc, including nsq-nsclc, resulted in robust responses in a phase 2 study (bgb-a317-206 \[nct03432598\]), in phase 3 study, addition of tislelizumab to chemotherapy resulted in significantly improved progression-free survival (pfs) compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with stage iiib or iv squamous nsclc (rationale 307; bgb-a317-307 \[nct03594747\]) and nsq-nsclc (rationale 304; bgb-a317-304 \[nct03663205\]). second-and third-line tislelizumab monotherapy prolonged os in the itt and pd-l1 ≥ 25% populations vs docetaxel in patients with advanced nsclc(rationale 303; bgb-a317-303 \[nct03358875\]). china nmpa have approved for tislelizumab + chemotherapy for 1l nsclc. this trial is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab in addition to bronchial arterial chemoembolization in stage iii-ⅳ nsclc patients who failed, refused or ineligible to receive standard treatments.
