Summary

This study tested the drug tislelizumab given before surgery in 33 people with early-stage colorectal cancer that has specific genetic changes (MSI-H or dMMR). The goal was to see if the drug could shrink or eliminate tumors before surgical removal. The trial has completed, and results will show how many patients had a major or complete response.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
tislelizumab (an immunotherapy drug given by IV)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that shrinks tumors before surgery, potentially improving outcomes for people with this specific type of colorectal cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 33 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or not work as well in larger, more diverse groups.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 or 1. * Participants had a pathologically (histologically) confirmed diagnosis of potentially resectable Stage II or Stage III colon or rectal cancer (CRC) with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) status confirmed by a sponsor-designated central laboratory, or known MSI-H status confirmed by a local laboratory.

Exclusion Criteria: * Participants had received any prior treatment for their current colorectal cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy. * Participants had any condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids at doses greater than 10 milligrams (mg) of prednisone per day, or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days before the first dose. * Participants had active autoimmune diseases or a history of autoimmune diseases that could potentially relapse.
