What it is measuring
Two-year disease-free survival rate
This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.
Phase 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.
How the researchers describe it
This phase II trial tests how well giving botensilimab and balstilimab prior or to surgery (neoadjuvent) works for the treatment of colorectal cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and that can be removed by surgery (resectable) colorectal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as botensilimab and balstilimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving botensilimab and balstilimab before surgery may make the tumor smaller. Giving neoadjuvant botensilimab and balstilimab may be effective for the treatment of advanced resectable colorectal cancer.

Who the trial is looking for
Inclusion Criteria
- Documented informed consent of the participant and Legally Authorized Representative (when applicable)
- Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained and documented for adults lacking capacity per institutional guidelines
- Agreement to allow the use of tissue from past and future surgery and standard of care biopsies
- Age: ≥ 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 2
- Histologically confirmed or cytologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma. Patients with high grade dysplasia on histology plus unequivocal endoscopic or radiological evidence of invasive cancer are eligible.
Patients diagnosed with rectal cancer who will be treated like colon cancer with curative-intent surgery first and no radiation are also eligible, including:
- Upper rectum or rectosigmoid considered as non-rectal and not undergoing neoadjuvant treatment
- The tumor component should not extend to less 12 cm from the anal verge.
- Any patient with rectal cancer for whom radiotherapy is not advised is included in this protocol (i.e., excluding rectal adenocarcinomas warranting treatment with chemoradiation)
- Microsatellite stability by mismatch repair by immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction and/or other Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified next generation sequencing.

Where it is running
Running at 11 sites. Listed in: United States.
Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.
Worth asking your oncology team
Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.
- Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
- Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
- What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
- What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
