Immunotherapy (Toripalimab) for Reducing Recurrence Risk After Surgery for Mismatch Repair Deficient Stage IIB, IIC, or III Colon Cancer
brief summary
This phase II trial tests how well immunotherapy (toripalimab) works for reducing the risk of cancer recurrence after surgery in patients with mismatch repair deficient stage IIB, IIC, or III colon cancer.
detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant toripalimab in patients with resected stage IIB, IIC, and III mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colon cancer by measuring 3-year disease-free survival.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Define the immune related toxicity profile of toripalimab in the adjuvant setting.
II. Further evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant toripalimab specifically by measuring 3-year relapse free survival (RFS), 5-year disease free survival (DFS), and 5-year overall survival.
TERTIARY/EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore immune, ctDNA, and omic markers associated with clinical efficacy (DFS).
II. To assess patient reported outcomes (PRO) and health related quality of life (QoL).
OUTLINE:
Eligible consenting participants will receive toripalimab intravenously every 3 weeks for 6 months (8 doses) in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months until 5 years post-resection. After completion of study medication, participants undergo surveillance follow up with blood tests, computed tomography (CT) scans, colonoscopy at specified intervals until 5 years post-resection. Patient reported outcomes and quality of life will also be assessed with questionnaires.
