Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: o determine the feasibility of Nivolumab in the preoperative setting in patients with T3-T4 colon cancer: delay in surgery resection > 21 days after last administration of nivolumab; severe adverse events-NCI CTC-AE Version 4.03 criteria. -To determine the degree of pathologic regression: percentage of patients achieving a pathological complete tumor regression (TRG1). -To determine molecular and immunophenotypic changes in tumor and peripheral blood evaluating several biomarkers. ;Secondary Objective: ¿Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) ¿Metabolic Response by FDG-Positron emission tomography¿computed tomography (PET-CT) scan prior to surgery compared to the baseline test. ¿Postoperative complications (occurring within 60 days from surgery) ¿Relapse-Free Survival ¿Overall Survival;Primary end point(s): Safety Assessments Efficacy Assessments Biomarker study;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety Assessments: Toxicities will be evaluated throughout the study treatment and up to 30 days after surgery. Toxicity will be graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria. The National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTC-AE) Version 4.03 will be used to evaluate the clinical safety of the treatment in this study. Patients will be assessed for AEs at each clinical visit and as necessary throughout the study. Grade =3 hematological and non-hematological toxicities will be recorded. Efficacy Assessments: Pathological tumor regression will be evaluated according to Mandard modified scoring system [Mandard 1994]. Biomarker study: The Immunoscore evaluation will be assessed using standardized Immunoscore assays and software (HalioDx).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The clinical response is a secondary objective of the study and will be evaluated through repetition of either spiral or multidetector CT scan prior to surgery (within 3 days before surgery) and defined according to the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours) guidelines version 1.1.; Metabolic response evaluated by FDG-PET is a secondary objective. Therefore PET-CT scans are planned at baseline (before treatment) and prior to surgery (within 3 days before surgery).; Postoperative complications; Relapse-Free Survival; Overall Survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: within 3 days before surgery (7 weeks after signing the consent); Metabolic response evaluated by FDG-PET is a secondary objective. Therefore PET-CT scans are planned at baseline (before treatment) and prior to surgery (within 3 days before surgery).; 60 days from surgery; Patients will have follow-up evaluation every six months for five years.; Patients will have follow-up evaluation every six months for five years.
