Radiotherapy + Systemic Therapy as Conversion Therapy for pMMR/MSS T4M0 Colon Cancer(Neo-Color)
Efficacy and Safety of Conversion Therapy for pMMR/MSS T4M0 Colon Cancer Patients Treated With Radiotherapy and Systemic Therapy: a Prospective, Open-label, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Trial(Neo-Color)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Aug 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy using radiotherapy combined with systemic treatment (chemotherapy + immune checkpoint inhibitors) for patients with pMMR/MSS T4M0 stage colon cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can the combination of radiotherapy and systemic treatment improve the R0 resection rate and complete response (CR) rate compared to chemotherapy alone? 2. Does this combination therapy enhance the tumor immune microenvironment, leading to better long-term outcomes? Researchers will compare the experimental group receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX + Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection with the control group receiving 4 cycles of CAPOX alone to see if the combination therapy offers superior efficacy. Participants will: 1. Undergo preoperative CCRT combined with one cycle of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection, followed by 4 cycles of CAPOX + Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection in the experimental group. 2. Receive 4 cycles of CAPOX in the control group. 3. After the initial treatment regimen, surgical candidates will undergo surgery followed by an additional 4 cycles of CAPOX. Non-surgical candidates will continue with 4 more cycles of CAPOX, completing a total of 8 cycles. Efficacy will be re-evaluated after the completion of 8 cycles.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Previous radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy for colon cancer.
- Concurrent participation in other interventional clinical trials.
Other illness
- Active autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis requiring long-term immunosuppressive therapy).
- Active infections (e.g., HIV, positive HBV/HCV viral load requiring antiviral treatment for stabilization).
- Severe cardiovascular diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction within 6 months, unstable angina, uncontrolled hypertension \>160/100 mmHg).
- Severe chronic bowel diseases (e.g., active Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).
- History of radiation enteritis or extensive abdominal adhesions affecting radiotherapy target delineation.
- Cognitive impairment or history of psychiatric disorders affecting treatment compliance.
Lab values
- Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c \> 8%) or thyroid dysfunction (TSH outside the normal range requiring medication).
- Unrecovered bone marrow suppression (ANC \< 1.5 × 10\^9/L, PLT \< 100 × 10\^9/L, Hb \< 90 g/L).
- Liver function with Child-Pugh score ≥ B or renal function with eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m².
Age
- History of other malignancies (except for cured non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, etc., with a disease-free period of ≥5 years).
Other
- Histological type of neuroendocrine carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or other non-adenocarcinoma components comprising more than 50%.
- Presence of distant metastasis (including peritoneal metastasis, non-regional lymph node metastasis, or organ metastasis).
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women (blood/urine HCG test required during screening).
- Patients deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator.
Who the study is looking for
