Study Summary
This trial will investigate if a therapy combining chemotherapy and an anti-PD-L1 mAb can improve outcomes for colon cancer patients.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with resectable, non-metastatic colon cancer that's not spread and has specific molecular features (pMMR). They must be able to follow the study plan, have certain high-risk factors like large tumors or signs of spreading to lymph nodes, and be in good physical condition. People can't join if they've had severe lung disease, recent heart issues, major surgery within a month, active infections including TB or hepatitis B/C/HIV, received live vaccines recently, are pregnant/breastfeeding or planning pregnancy soon.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests neoadjuvant CAPEOX chemotherapy combined with Atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) before surgery followed by more chemo if needed. It aims to see if this treatment shrinks tumors better and improves immune response. Patients get four cycles of both drugs every three weeks pre-surgery; high-risk patients may receive additional chemo post-surgery based on guidelines.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs used (Atezolizumab/CAPEOX), risk of infection due to weakened immune system from chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents. Other common side effects might involve fatigue, digestive issues such as nausea/vomiting/diarrhea from chemo and potential liver function changes.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Determine the rate of complete histopathologic response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in pMMR resectable, non-metastatic colon cancer.
Secondary outcome measures
Assess short and long-term quality of life through Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs)
Determine the R0 resection rate and number of lymph nodes harvested after neoadjuvant combination CAPEOX / Atezolizumab
Determine the relapse-free survival, time to recurrence, and overall survival after CAPEOX / Atezolizumab, and surgical resection.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Neoadjuvant Therapy ArmExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Subjects will receive 4 cycles of neoadjuvant atezolizumab in combination with 4 cycles of CAPEOX before standard of care surgical resection. After surgery, patients who are still considered high risk for recurrence (per the treating medical oncologist) will be offered adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy will consist of mFOLFOX6 Q2 weeks x 6 cycles (12 weeks) or CAPEOX Q3 weeks x 4 cycles (12 weeks).
