Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Open Label, Randomized Study of Neoadjuvant Nivolumab and Chemotherapy, With or Without Sub-ablative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, for Resectable Stage IIA to IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT05500092)
NCT ID: NCT05500092
Last Updated: 2026-08-27
Results Overview
Complete pathological response (CPR) rate observed after neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection. Complete pathological response will be defined as the absence of tumor cells in the resected specimen upon histopathological examination and will be reported as the number/percentage of participants who had complete pathological response. Results will be summarized for each study arm.

Nivolumab + Platinum Doublet Chemotherapy
All participants will receive platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (PDC) along with nivolumab for 3 cycles every 3 weeks. Carboplatinum (AUC=5) can be used instead of Cisplatin (75 mg/m2) from cycle 2 for Cisplatin induced neuro/oto/nephrotoxicity as long as the subject remains eligible for doublet chemotherapy. Participants with nonsquamous tumors will receive pemetrexed (500 mg/m2). Participants with squamous tumors will receive either docetaxel (75 mg/m2 on day 1) or gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2 on days 1, 8). Cycles will be every 3 weeks and a maximum of a 2 week delay will be permitted for resolution of toxicities.
Nivolumab: Patients randomized to the Nivolumab + Platinum Doublet Chemotherapy only arm will receive three cycles of nivolumab at a dose of 360 mg every three weeks along with a platinum-based chemotherapy doublet (cisplatin or carboplatin plus pemetrexed for adenocarcinoma, cisplatin or carboplatin plus docetaxel, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine for squamous NSCLC) with sub-ablative stereotactic radiation therapy (8 Gy x 3) directed at the primary lung tumor

Nivolumab + Platinum Doublet Chemotherapy + SBRT (8gy x 3)
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) will be delivered near the conclusion of cycle 1 with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (PDC) along with nivolumab for 3 cycles every 3 weeks. The intent is to deliver SBRT on three consecutive days when the concentration of radiosensitizing chemotherapy agents in the subject's system is at a minimum, to minimize toxicity risks. It is expected that some subjects may not receive SBRT on three consecutive days due to machine breakdown, inclement weather, or other logistic issues. Subjects must not receive SBRT within 72 hours after a cisplatin or carboplatin infusion
