A Prospective Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Adebrelimab in Combination With Trastuzumab Rezetecan for Patients With Stage III Unresectable HER2-Positive NSCLC

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase II investigator-initiated trial. The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of Adebrelimab plus Trastuzumab rezetecan induction therapy in patients with stage III unresectable HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible patients receive 3-4 cycles Q3W induction combination therapy. After induction, patients will receive radical surgery or concurrent chemoradiotherapy via MDT evaluation, followed by consolidation therapy and long-term survival follow-up. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) assessed per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints include surgical conversion rate, major pathological response (MPR), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and safety profiles.

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged 18-75 years, male or female.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed stage III unresectable NSCLC per AJCC 9th edition, judged unresectable by institutional MDT team.
  • Confirmed HER2 alteration: HER2 mutation/amplification detected by tissue NGS, or HER2 protein overexpression (IHC 2+ or 3+).
  • No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for NSCLC; prior anti-tumor Chinese herbal medicine allowed if ≥2 weeks washout before first dose.
  • At least 1 measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1.
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
  • Able to provide tumor tissue specimen (archival ≤6 months or newly biopsied non-irradiated lesion).
  • FEV1 >1.0 L and FEV1% predicted >40% within past 3 months.
  • Adequate organ function within 7 days before first dose (no blood product/G-CSF support within 14 days):
  • Hematology: WBC ≥3.0×10⁹/L, ANC ≥1.5×10⁹/L, PLT ≥100×10⁹/L, Hb ≥90g/L
  • Liver: AST/ALT ≤2.5×ULN (≤5×ULN for liver metastasis), TBIL ≤1.5×ULN
  • Renal: Serum Cr ≤1.5×ULN or CrCl ≥50 mL/min
  • Cardiac: LVEF ≥50% by echocardiogram
  • Fertile male/female participants must use effective contraception during treatment and 6 months after last dose; female participants non-lactating, negative serum HCG within 14 days pre-first dose.
  • Voluntarily sign written informed consent, good compliance for follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

  • Mixed small cell/large cell neuroendocrine/sarcomatoid NSCLC histology.
  • Concurrent other actionable driver gene alterations (EGFR, ALK, MET, BRAF, RET etc.) besides HER2.
  • Past or concurrent other malignant tumor (except fully resected cancer ≥5 years without active treatment).
  • Prior thoracic radiotherapy.
  • Major surgery within 28 days or minor invasive surgery within 7 days before first dose.
  • HIV infection, active hepatitis B/C, organ transplant history, congenital/acquired immunodeficiency.
  • Systemic immune modulators (thymosin, interferon, IL-2) within 4 weeks pre-enrollment.
  • Uncontrolled severe cardiovascular disease, unstable angina or intervention-required ventricular arrhythmia within 1 month.
  • Confirmed or suspected interstitial lung disease, severe baseline pulmonary dysfunction interfering with lung toxicity monitoring.
  • Active uncontrolled ≥2 grade infection within 2 weeks before enrollment.
  • Active tuberculosis under treatment.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of study drugs or other monoclonal antibodies/fusion proteins.
  • Any condition judged by investigator to compromise participant safety or trial compliance.

Treatment and study plan

Adebrelimab

Drug

1200mg intravenous infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 3-4 induction cycles; consolidation therapy after local treatment as physician discretion. Infusion duration 30-60 minutes.

Trastuzumab Rezetecan

Drug

3.2mg/kg intravenous infusion on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle for 3-4 induction cycles; fixed dose 408mg if body weight ≥85kg. First infusion over 90 mins, subsequent cycles 60 mins if well tolerated.

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: End of Cycle 3/Cycle 4 induction (each cycle 21 days). Surgery-eligible patients assess tumor 6-8 weeks after Cycle3 last dose; others evaluate at Cycle4 end, ±7-day imaging window.

    Proportion of participants achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) after 3-4 cycles induction therapy, assessed per RECIST v1.1 by investigators

Secondary outcomes

  1. Surgical Conversion Rate

    Time frame: Within 6 to 8 weeks after the last induction study drug infusion (42-56 days post final induction dose)

    Percentage of subjects receiving R0 radical pulmonary resection after MDT re-evaluation post induction

  2. Major Pathological Response (MPR) Rate

    Time frame: Within 4 weeks after curative lung resection (pathology report completion window)

    Proportion of surgical patients with ≤10% viable tumor cells in resected primary tumor specimen (central blinded pathology review)

  3. Event-Free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Up to 36 months after the first dose of study treatment (3-year full survival follow-up)

    Time from first study drug dose to disease progression, local recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from any cause

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 36 months after the first dose of study treatment

    OS defined as time from first dose to all-cause death; survival rate calculated at fixed time points

  5. Safety Profile (Treatment-Related Adverse Events)

    Time frame: From the date of signed informed consent through 30 days after the last study treatment infusion; long-term safety follow-up continues up to 36 months post first dose for delayed irAEs.

    Incidence and grade of all adverse events, ≥3 grade AEs, serious adverse events (SAE), immune-related AEs, interstitial lung disease graded per NCI CTCAE v6.0
