As the Healthy China planning has been implemented, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has witnessed unprecedented developmental opportunities. However, the safety of TCM has always been like The Sword of Damocles in TCM area, endangering the healthy and sustainable development of TCM. In order to solve the problem of TCM safety in China as soon as possible, the author puts forward that the situation and issues of TCM safety should be considered with the change of the times. At the same time, it is suggested that the research on TCM safety should be listed as the most important project in TCM science and technology field. The safety evaluation and risk control system in line with China national situation and TCM characteristics should be established as soon as possible. The research strategy of TCM safety should be innovated from "five changes". The transition of adverse drug reactions of TCM from "still not clear" to "basically clear" should be tried to realize, which allow TCM inherited from our ancestors to make a greater contribution to human's health.

Background: Prolgolimab is an IgG1 anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody with the Fc-silencing 'LALA' mutation. The phase III DOMAJOR study assessed efficacy and safety of prolgolimab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy vs placebo in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: 292 patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to receive 4 cycles of pemetrexed, platinum-based drug and either prolgolimab (3 mg/kg Q3W) or placebo followed by prolgolimab/placebo with pemetrexed until disease progression or toxicity (≤36 months).
