Salvage Surgery Following Downstaging of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer by Targeted Therapy (SDANT)
Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer focused on measuring Unresectable, Advanced NSCLC, Targeted Therapy, Salvage Surgery
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Pathological diagnosis of NSCLC with confirmed activation of driver gene mutation (EGFR mutant: exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation; ALK-rearrangement) by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS);
- stage IIIB-IV according to the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system confirmed by pathological diagnosis and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and biopsy
- Written informed consent provided;
- Age 18-70 when signing the consent form, both male and female;
- The ECOG score is 0 or 1;
- Adequate hematological function, liver function and renal function;
- Female participants should not be pregnant or breast-feeding.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previously received systemic anti-tumor therapy for non-small cell lung cancer;
- Subjects who have received chest radiotherapy in the past;
- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
- Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within the previous year, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease);
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding women;
- Ingredients mixed with small cell lung cancer patients.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
targeted therapy+salvage surgery
Participants treated with targeted therapy without progression and radiological confirmation of tumor downstaging (≤stage IIIA) by PET-CT followed by salvage surgery were enrolled into the group of targeted therapy plus salvage surgery. The molecular targeted agents used in our study included osimertinib (80 mg, once a day) . Salvage surgery was defined as surgical intervention based on standard operation (lobectomy plus lymphadenectomy) of NSCLC for advanced patients who initially had no surgical indications, but achieved significant downstaging (≤stage IIIA) without progression after targeted therapy. Targeted therapy was continued after salvage surgery until progression.
