Brief Summary

The goal of this single arm, phase II clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (AK104) as induction and consolidation therapy in locally advanced/unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Participants will receive 2 cycles of induction therapy with cadonilimab combined with carboplatin/cisplatin plus etoposide, followed by standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy (thoracic radiotherapy + carboplatin/cisplatin plus etoposide regimen chemotherapy), and finally consolidation therapy with cadonilimab (AK104) for 1 year.

• Informed consent signed by patients or their legal representatives was obtained, and the study protocol and follow-up procedure were followed.
• Patients of childbearing potential had to be willing to continue using high-potency contraception for the duration of the study and for ≥120 days after the last dose of Cadonilimab (AK104).

Exclusion Criteria

• Pathological types of mixed small cell and non-small cell lung cancer;
• Patients with known EGFR/ALK/ROS1 mutations;
• Patients have received an approved systemic anticancer therapy or systemic immunomodulatory agent (including, but not limited to, interferon, interleukin-2, and tumor necrosis factor) within 4 weeks before the first dose;
• Have received a live or attenuated live vaccine within 4 weeks before enrollment or are expected to require a live or attenuated live vaccine during the study or within 5 months after the last dose of Cadonilimab (AK104);

• Patients with inactive HBsAg carriers and medically stable active HBV infection (HBV DNA<500 IU/mL) were eligible. Only to hepatitis b core antibody (anti HBc antibody) patients who tested positive for HBV DNA testing.
• Patients who were negative for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies at screening or who were positive for HCV antibodies at screening and subsequently tested negative for HCV RNA were eligible. HCV RNA testing will be performed only in patients who are positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies.

Note: the hepatitis b surface antigen (HBsAg) can be detected or patients with HBV DNA can be detected, should according to the guidelines for treatment. Patients receiving antiviral treatment at screening were supposed to have been on treatment for more than 2 weeks before enrollment and to have continued treatment for 6 months after discontinuation of the study drug.
