Clinical summary
Summary
This study is recruiting people with previously untreated T4N0 or Stage III, defective mismatch repair / microsatellite instability high colon cancer.
Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment arms.
In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive Dostarlimab pre and post surgery to remove their cancer.
In the Active Comparator Arm, participants will receive standard of care with one of two chemotherapy regimens (FOLFOX or CAPEOX), or undergo expectant observation post surgery.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with untreated colon cancer that is able to be removed by surgery and is demonstrating the presence of either dMMR status or MSI-H
