简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab before colonic resection in patients with early-stage (I-III) deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer (CC).
详细描述
The trial is designed as an investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, single arm phase II study in patients with stage I-III dMMR CC scheduled for intended curative surgery to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy using pembrolizumab in the neoadjuvant setting. Patients will receive one dose of pembrolizumab (dosage of 4mg/kg, maximum of 400mg) following diagnosis. After 3 weeks a re-evaluation (to assess tumor response) will be performed, followed by standard surgery for resection of the tumor. Surgery will therefore be performed within 3 to 5 weeks after the dose of pembrolizumab treatment. Following the surgical resection the patients may receive post-operative chemotherapy in accordance with the clinical decision. The patients will be followed as per the standard Danish guidelines with CT scans at 1 and 3 years after surgery.

排除标准
- •Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator or treating physician, may increase the risk associated with study participation, impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy, or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
