Brief summary

This multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint Phase II trial assesses the efficacy and safety of tolecizumab (PCSK9 inhibitor) plus sintilimab/CapeOX chemoimmunotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for pMMR/MSS locally advanced colon adenocarcinoma .

Interventions

Tolecizumab (PCSK9 Inhibitor) 600mg, subcutaneous injection, Q6W (Weeks 1,7), 2 doses total Sintilimab (PD-1 Inhibitor) 200mg, intravenous infusion, Q3W (Weeks1,4,7,10), 4 cycles total CapeOX Regimen (Oxaliplatin + Capecitabine) Oxaliplatin 130mg/m² IV Q3W (4 cycles); Capecitabine 1000mg/m² oral twice daily, Days1-14 per cycle

DRUGSintilimab

1\. Oxaliplatin: 130mg/m² intravenous infusion, Q3W at Week 1,4,7,10, total 4 cycles; 2. Capecitabine: 1000mg/m² oral administration, twice daily, Days 1-14 of each chemotherapy cycle. All drugs free of charge. 2.Sintilimab 200mg intravenous infusion, administered every 3 weeks (Q3W) at Week 1, 4, 7, 10, total 4 cycles; provided free of charge by the sponsor, used for neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

Inclusion criteria

* Signed the written informed consent form and voluntarily participate in the study. * Pathohistologically confirmed colon adenocarcinoma with cT3c stage or above. * Aged 18 to 80 years, regardless of gender. * The lower edge of the tumor is more than 10 cm from the anus. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Sufficient bone marrow, liver, kidney and coagulation functions assessed by laboratory tests (in accordance with the local laboratory reference range). * No previous anti-tumor treatment for the current colon cancer (including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, etc.). * No pregnancy or lactation for female patients; male patients agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the study.

Exclusion criteria

* Previous anti-tumor treatment for the current colon cancer. * Previous use of PCSK9 inhibitors or PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. * Active autoimmune diseases or a history of autoimmune diseases. * Receiving immunosuppressant or systemic glucocorticoid therapy (except for local low-dose glucocorticoid use). * Active infection requiring systemic anti-infective treatment. * Severe cardiovascular diseases (e.g., severe hypertension, myocardial infarction, heart failure, etc.). * Fasting LDL-C \<1.0 mmol/L (39 mg/dL), only excluding extremely low levels (suggestive of cachexia/severe hepatic disease) * Complicated primary tumor (e.g., tumor perforation, intestinal obstruction without relief after intervention). * Pregnant or lactating women. * Other conditions that the investigator deems unfit for participation in the study (e.g., poor compliance, severe organ dysfunction, etc.).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
pCRThe pCR rate will be evaluated after surgery, an average of 12 weekspCR was defined as the absence, from surgical samples, of malignant cells in the primary site and regional lymph nodes

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
MPR (Major Pathological Response)MPR rate assessed postoperatively, at an average of 12 weeksMPR is defined as ≤10% residual viable tumor cells in the primary tumor bed of the surgical specimen following neoadjuvant therapy
Disease-free survival3 yearsDefined as the time from randomization to relapse or death, whichever occurred first.
Overall survival (OS)3 yearsDefined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause according to RECIST version 1.1 recorded in the time period between randomization and disease
Primary tumor downstaging rateFrom enrollment to 12 Weeks of treatment endDown-staging of the resected tumour as measured by histopathological tumour diameter and stage according to the TNM staging system of AJCC (9th version).
R₀ (Curative) resectionSurgical operation assessmentCurative resection defined as complete tumor resection with all margins being negative.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)After 4 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (10 weeks)Objective response is defined as a complete response (CR) or response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1
Radiological response based on RECIST 1.1 criteria: CR, PR, SD, PDFrom enrollment to 12 Weeks of treatment end—
