Stage I Colon Cancer clinical trials

Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy for Resectable Non-Metastatic Proficient Mismatch Repair (PMMR) Colon Cancer

This is an open-label Phase II trial that will investigate the use of neoadjuvant CAPEOX chemotherapy with Atezolizumab followed by surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with localized resectable pMMR adenocarcinoma of the colon with a target accrual of 30 patients. The investigators will explore if appropriately timed neoadjuvant CAPEOX with anti-PD-L1 mAb (Atezolizumab) can be administered safely and feasibly for 12 weeks, and that this combination will lead to improved clinical response associated with enhanced numbers of immune cells in surgically resected colon tumors. Participants will receive 4 cycles of atezolizumab in combination with 4 cycles of CAPEOX (atezolizumab will be administered prior to chemotherapy) before standard of care surgical resection. Each cycle of neoadjuvant therapy is 3 weeks. Following surgery, participants still considered to be at high-risk of recurrence (per NCCN guidelines) will receive further adjuvant chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPEOX),for 6 and 4 cycles respectively (for a total of 12 weeks), based on the discretion of the treating oncologist/investigator. Participants will be followed up for an EFFICACY follow-up phase every 2 months during the first 6 months after surgery (months 1, 3, 6) and thereafter participants will enter a SURVIVAL follow-up phase and will be seen every 6 months starting at month 12 until month 36. During this the efficacy and survival follow up visits blood samples will be obtained for purposes of obtaining circulating DNA and stool and optional blood samples for storage for future exploratory analysis. Additionally, during these follow up visits, participants will be asked to complete quality of life questionnaires
