Surufatinib Combined With Tislelizumab in Advanced Lung Cancer With Neuroendocrine Differentiation

This is a single-arm, open, single-center, prospective and exploratory clinical study. We planned to enroll 29 patients who would receive surufatinib plus tislelizumab until disease progression, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent. The study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of surufatinib combined with tislelizumab in the treatment of NSCLC with NED, in order to provide a new treatment option for NSCLC patients with NED.

Inclusion criteria
