Fulzerasib Sequential Sintilimab Plus Platinum-Doublet Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC

Summary

This is an exploratory study evaluating the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with fulzerasib sequentially combined with sintilimab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS G12C mutation. Approximately 30 treatment-naïve patients with stage IB-IIIA (AJCC 8th edition) NSCLC and confirmed KRAS G12C mutation will be enrolled. Eligible subjects will receive 6 weeks of fulzerasib followed by a 2-week washout period, then 3 cycles (q3w) of sintilimab plus investigator's choice of platinum-doublet chemotherapy. An end-of-treatment visit will be performed within 7 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant therapy.
