Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy and Organ-sparing Treatment in Patients With Stage I-III dMMR Colon Cancer

The RESET C2 trial aims to introduce organ sparing treatment or watch-and-wait (WW) to patients with localized deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) colon cancer through use of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. Patients will be divided into four treatment arms based on their surgical and oncologic risks. Each arm provides different intensity neoadjuvant immunotherapy regimens. Patients with complete response at disease restaging procedures will be offered non-operative management, whereas those with non-complete response will proceed to surgery ± adjuvant chemotherapy as standard of care. A WW protocol with regular disease surveillance continues over survivorship. If there is recurrence, surgery and/or appropriate oncologic therapy will be offered determined by multi-disciplinary teams. This is a national, non-randomised, investigator-initiated trial including patients from 13 hospitals across Denmark. The rationale, design, and clinical response metrics are derived from the RESET C study (NCT05662527) showing efficacy, safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in this cohort.

A Phase I, Autologous ex Vivo Expanded and Activated NK Cell, Magicell-NK, Infusion for Colon Cancer Post Resection Study

This is a Phase I, open-label study to explore the safety profile and to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum feasible dose (MFD) of Magicell-NK in subjects diagnosed with stage I or stage IIa colon cancer post resection from a single site in Taiwan. During this study, 3 dose levels of Magicell-NK will be tested with a 3+3 design to determine the MTD/MFD: Cohort 1, low dose (2×10\^8 cells), Cohort 2, middle dose (6×10\^8 cells), and Cohort 3, high dose (12\~18 ×10\^8 cells).
