About this trial
This is a single-arm, exploratory study enrolling participants with resectable stage III pMMR/MSS colon cancer. Eligible participants who provide written informed consent will receive four cycles of neoadjuvant treatment with iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706) plus XELOX regimen administered every three weeks (Q3W), followed by radical surgery within two weeks after the last neoadjuvant treatment. After surgery, participants will enter the follow-up phase, or clinicians may decide to administer four additional cycles of adjuvant XELOX chemotherapy based on postoperative pathological findings. The primary endpoint of this study is the pathological complete response (pCR) rate as assessed by investigators. Other endpoints include pathological response (PR), major pathological response (MPR), clinical complete response (cCR), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.
