    Arms of the Study

    Arm 1

    Arm Type

    Experimental

    Arm Label

    Experimental arm

    Arm Description

    Sintilimab will be given intravenously at a dose of 200mg every 21 days. Anlotinib will be given at a dose of 12mg once daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle. Tumor evaluation will be conducted after treatment of the tested regimen every 2 cycles. Subsequent treatment will be determined based on the evaluation results: If the patients are not suitable for radical surgery, but the result of efficacy evaluation is CR, PR, or SD, they can continue to receive the tested regimen. If the patients are still not suitable for radical surgery after 6 cycles of the tested regimen, the standard first-line or immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy will be given. If patients are eligible for radical surgery, surgery will be performed within 4 weeks after completion of the last tested regimen.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Surgical conversion rate
    The surgical conversion rate was defined as the proportion of subjects with the successful conversion over all subjects who received the tested regime.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Objective response rate (ORR)
    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have the best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed based on RECIST 1.1.
    R0 resection rate
    R0 resection rate is defined as the complete resection rate of all tumor under microscope.
    Major pathological response rate
    Major pathological response rate is defined as the percentage of patients who achieved a major pathological response (residual tumor ≤10%).
    Pathological complete response rate
    Pathological complete response rate is defined as the percentage of patients who achieved a pathological complete response (residual tumor = 0%).
    Overall survival (OS)
    OS is measured from the time from the treatment onset (date of first study dose) until the date of death from any cause.
    Progression-free survival (PFS)
    PFS is measured from the time from the treatment onset (date of first study dose) until the date of tumor progression or death from any cause.
    Disease-free survival (DFS)
    DFS is measured from the time from radical surgery until the date of tumor progression or death from any cause.
    Treatment-related adverse events
    Incidence and grade of treatment-related adverse events assessed based on CTCAE 5.0

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    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.
    Detailed Description
    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.
