Brief Summary

This open-label, single-arm study is designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of NK010 cell injection combined with a PD-1 antibody and platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to assess the safety profile, feasibility of administration, and potential antitumor activity of this combination regimen.

Detailed Description

Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed, resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will receive a neoadjuvant regimen consisting of NK010 cell injection, an anti-PD-1 antibody, and standard platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of this combination regimen in the preoperative setting. Secondary objectives include the exploration of potential antitumor activity. The study utilizes a sequential dose-escalation design, with NK010 administered at three planned dose levels.

Following neoadjuvant therapy and surgical resection, postoperative adjuvant therapy will be administered at the investigator's discretion in accordance with standard clinical practice.

Conditions

Resectable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

NK010 + PD-1 Antibody + Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

Participants will receive neoadjuvant therapy for a total of 3 cycles, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks. NK010 cell injection will be administered in combination with a PD-1 antibody and platinum-based chemotherapy. After completing 3 cycles of treatment, participants will undergo surgical resection, followed by pathological assessment to evaluate outcomes such as major pathological response (MPR), pathological complete response (pCR), and R0 resection rate. NK010 administration will be evaluated at three planned dose levels.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

PD-1 antibody

Intervention Type: DRUG

The PD-1 antibody will be administered intravenously in combination with NK010 cell injection and platinum-based chemotherapy during the neoadjuvant treatment phase.

NK010

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

NK010 is an allogeneic, off-the-shelf natural killer (NK) cell product derived from peripheral blood. NK010 will be administered intravenously in combination with a PD-1 antibody and platinum-based chemotherapy during the neoadjuvant treatment phase.
