Brief summary

To determine the Efficacy and Safety of camrelizumab and apatinib combined with chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) for MSS/pMMR locally advanced colon cancer.

Detailed description

To determine the rate of tumor regression grade 2-4 at time of radical resection of MSS/pMMR colon cancer following neoadjuvant treatment.To determine the pathologic downstage rates at time of radical resection of colon cancer following neoadjuvant treatment, pathologic complete response (pCR) rates, R0 resection rate, 2 year Disease free survival, OS(overall survival) and adverse events, including perioperative complication and mortality rate. To determine the pathologic downstage rates and pCR rate of radical resection of MSI/dMMR colon cancer.

Interventions

DRUGCamrelizumab , apatinib and chemotherapy

Camrelizumab 200 mg, IV infusion on Days 1 each 14-day cycle Apatinib 250mg oral administration once a day, for two months mFOLFOX6 oxaliplatin 85 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Day 1 of each14-day cycle. Fluorouracil: 400 mg/m2 as a bolus injection given after a two-hour leucovorin infusion at a dose of 400 mg/m2. The loading dose is then followed by a 46-hour 5-fluorouracil infusion of 2,400 mg/m2 via a pump programmed to provide a constant drug infusion rate.

Intervention model description

MSS/pMMR:Participants received 5 preoperative cycles of PD1 inhibitor and chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6), 2 months of apatinib, followed by surgery. Apatinib,PD1 inhibitor and chemotherapy needed to be stopped for 4-6 months before operation. 1 month after surgery, 7 cycles of mFOLFOX6 combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody were performed as adjuvant therapy. MSI/dMMR:Participants received 5 preoperative cycles of PD1 inhibitor and 2 months of apatinib, followed by surgery. Apatinib,PD1 inhibitor needed to be stopped for 4-6 months before operation. 1 month after surgery, 7 cycles of PD-1 monoclonal antibody and apatinib were performed as adjuvant therapy.

Chemotherapy, PD-1 Inhibitor and Apatinib
From January 2021 to September 2022, 12 patients were enrolled. Most (10 \[83.3%\] of 12) patients were female. There were 10 patients (83.3%) with right-sided colon cancer. 7(58.3%) had cT4 stage tumors, and all patients had positive lymph nodes on baseline radiographic assessment. 10 (83.3%) completed the planned cycles of neoadjuvant therapy. 1 patient received 3 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy as a serious adverse event and 1 patient received 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy as tumor perforation . Of the 12 patients, 11 underwent surgery, of whom R0 resection was performed and 1 refused
