Condition: Elderly Patients (>65 Years) · Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer · PD-1 Inhibitors · Sponsor: Kong Fanming
The goal of this clinical trial is to elucidate the clinical efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture combined with PD-1 inhibitor therapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through a multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial. The main question it aims to answer is: the combination of electroacupuncture and PD-1 inhibitor therapy has demonstrated significant improvements in both clinical efficacy and safety profiles among elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Researchers will compare a sham electroacupuncture group combined with PD-1 inhibitor therapy (serving as the control group) to see if the intervention group exhibits superior therapeutic efficacy and safety outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an electroacupuncture combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor group, or a sham electroacupuncture combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor group. The immune checkpoint inhibitor will be administered on a 21-day cycle, with a total of 4 to 6 treatment cycles, followed by the option for maintenance therapy. Electroacupuncture treatment will commence on the same day as the initiation of the immune checkpoint inhibitor cycle, administered once daily for a total of five sessions per cycle, with 4 to 6 cycles in total. The primary outcome measure is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary outcomes include objective response rate (ORR), quality of life, immune function, traditional Chinese medicine s…
