Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of T1N0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during the cryoablation procedure, classified as stage Ia (tumor size \>1 cm and ≤3 cm) according to the 9th edition of the AJCC TNM staging system; patients with ground-glass nodules (GGNs) are excluded.
No detectable driver mutations in EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 genes. Deemed ineligible for or unwilling to undergo surgery or radiotherapy after multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion.
At least one measurable target lesion within 4 weeks before the first dose, evaluated by the investigator according to mRECIST (2019) criteria.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 2. Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.
Adequate organ function based on laboratory assessments within 14 days before first dose of study treatment, without prior transfusion, albumin, thrombopoietin, or colony-stimulating factor (CSF) support:
Hematologic Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L Platelet count ≥ 75 × 10⁹/L Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L Liver function Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) ALT ≤ 5 × ULN AST ≤ 5 × ULN Albumin ≥ 30 g/L Renal function Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN; if \>1.5 × ULN, creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) Coagulation APTT ≤ 1.5 × ULN PT ≤ 1.5 × ULN INR ≤ 1.5 × ULN Urinalysis Urine protein dipstick ≤ 1+; if ≥ 2+, 24-hour urine protein \< 1 g is acceptable Female participants must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to study treatment and agree to use effective contraception during the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose. Breastfeeding is not permitted during the study.
Male participants must agree to use effective contraception or abstain from heterosexual intercourse during the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose. If the male participant has a female partner of childbearing potential or a pregnant partner, he must use condoms to avoid drug exposure to the embryo. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable contraception methods.
You may not be if
Known history of severe hypersensitivity to any monoclonal antibody (Grade \>3, per NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
Prior treatment with any immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.
Known contraindications to cryoablation. Active infection requiring systemic antimicrobial therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose.
History of myocardial infarction within 6 months before first dose, uncontrolled arrhythmias (including QTc ≥450 ms for males or ≥470 ms for females, calculated by Fridericia formula), NYHA Class III or IV heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction \<50%, or clinically significant pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal effusion requiring intervention.
Uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia (ionized calcium \>1.5 mmol/L, or total serum calcium \>12 mg/dL, or corrected calcium \>ULN).
History or presence of interstitial lung disease, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-related pneumonitis, or other significant pulmonary conditions that may interfere with evaluation or management of potential treatment-related lung toxicity, as judged by the investigator.
Positive for HBsAg and detectable HBV DNA (active hepatitis B); or positive for HCV antibody and detectable HCV RNA (active hepatitis C); or positive syphilis serology (except non-active infections with specific antibody positive and non-specific antibody negative); or known HIV infection.
Active or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with stable autoimmune disease not requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment are allowed.
Active malignancy within 5 years, except for curatively treated localized tumors such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, prostate, or breast with ≥5 years disease-free interval.
Receipt of live or attenuated vaccines within 28 days before the first dose or planned during the study. Inactivated seasonal influenza vaccines are allowed.
Receipt of radical radiotherapy within 3 months before the first dose. Presence of spinal cord compression not controlled by surgery and/or radiotherapy.
History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), ongoing anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy, or history of severe bleeding or DVT associated with anti-angiogenic therapy.
Poorly controlled hypertension, defined as blood pressure ≥160/100 mmHg despite optimal medical therapy.
Underwent major surgery within 28 days prior to the first dose (major surgery is defined as a procedure requiring at least 3 weeks of recovery before study treatment).
Participation in another interventional clinical trial within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening.
Planned or prior organ or bone marrow transplantation. Known history of psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that may interfere with study compliance or assessments.
Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
