Study population: Patients with local late/metastasis non-small cell lung cancer treated with the first-line treatment of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment

Brief summary: This study will analyze the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota of patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) through metagenomic high-throughput sequencing methods, and explore the relationship between the gut microbiota and anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment response.

This study will further understand the influence and mechanism of the gut microbiota on tumor immunotherapy, and will provide new ideas and theoretical basis for improving the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy by targeting the gut microbiota in the clinic, and benefit more NSCLC patients.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Volunteer to participate in this trial, fully understand this trial, and sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
2. 18-75 years old on the day of signing the ICF.
3. Locally advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed by histology or cytology. no epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) sensitive mutations, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement, ROS Proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) gene fusion.
4. receive anti-PD-1/PD-L1 for first-line treatment.
5. Have not received systemic treatment for locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC.
6. Have measurable target lesions judged by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST V1.1).
7. 0\~1 ECOG score.
8. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
9. Have sufficient organ function, evaluated based on blood routine, renal function, liver function, and coagulation laboratory test results (and have not received blood transfusion or infusion of apheresis components within 14 days before the study drug administration , Erythropoietin, granulocyte colony stimulating factor and other medical support treatments).
10. Women of Childbearing Potential (WOBCP) must undergo a serum pregnancy test within 7 days before the first medication, and the result is negative; WOBCP or men and their WOBCP partners should agree from signing the ICF to the last one. Take effective contraceptive measures within 6 months after taking the study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Before the first administration of the trial treatment: a) have received previous systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic disease; b) have received other targeted or biological anti-tumor therapy for metastatic disease ; c) received major surgery (\<3 weeks before the first dose); d) received lung radiotherapy \>30 Gy within 6 months before the first dose of the trial treatment; e) the first trial treatment Palliative radiotherapy was completed within 7 days before administration.
2. Any other form of anti-tumor therapy is expected during the study period.
3. Live virus vaccines have been vaccinated within 30 days before the planned treatment. Seasonal influenza vaccine without live virus is allowed.
4. A history of past malignant disease is known, unless the subject receives potentially curative treatment and there is no evidence of disease recurrence within 5 years after starting treatment.
5. Accompanying known active central nervous system (CNS) metastasis and/or cancerous meningitis.
6. According to the standard of Common Adverse Event Terminology (CTCAE) 4th edition, peripheral neuropathy has been ≥2 grade.
7. Severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibody treatments have occurred in the past.
8. Accompanied by active autoimmune diseases, systemic treatment (ie, use of disease modifiers, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs) is required within the past 2 years.
9. Are receiving long-term systemic steroid therapy. Subjects with asthma who require intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, or topical steroid injections are not excluded.
10. Have received any other anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 or PD-L2 drugs or antibodies in the past, or small molecule therapy that targets other immunomodulatory receptors or mechanisms. Participated in any other anti-PD-1/PD-L1 trials and received anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment. Such antibodies include (but are not limited to) antibodies against IDO, PD-L1, IL-2R and GITR.
11. Active infections requiring treatment.
12. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) history (known HIV1/2 antibody positive). Accompanied by known active hepatitis B or C.
13. Being pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or conceive during the period of study drug treatment and within the required contraceptive period after the last administration of the study drug.
14. The researcher believes that there are any circumstances that are not suitable for selection.
