About this trial
In this study, the efficacy of botensilimab and balstilimab in mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) and mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) tumors will be assessed.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Major pathological response rate
Percentage of patients in which a major pathologic response (MPR) is reported, defined as \<10% residual viable tumor (RVT) in the resection specimen.
Secondary outcomes
Pathological response rates
Pathologic complete response (pCR) defined as no RVT in the primary tumor and locoregional lymph nodes; partial pathologic response (≤50% RVT) and no pathologic response (\>50% RVT)
Event free survival
Event-free survival defined as time from registration to the date of disease progression, local, regional or distant recurrence, occurrence of a second primary cancer or death from any cause.
Disease free survival
Disease free survival defined as the time from surgery to disease recurrence during follow-up which consists of either local or regional recurrence, metastatic disease or disease-related death.
Overall survival
Overall survival defined as time from registration until death from any cause.
