  • T3-4/N+ was evaluated by pelvic enhanced MRI. Had not received systemic anti-tumor therapy for colon cancer, including cytotoxic drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, molecular targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, etc.
  • Appropriate organ function based on the following laboratory test values obtained during the screening period: white blood cell count ≥3 × 10\^9/L, neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥75 × 10\^9/L, serum total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (UNL), AST (SGOT) or ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 × UNL, serum creatinine ≤1.5 × UNL.
  • Female subjects of reproductive age must undergo a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to the start of the study drug and be willing to use a medically approved highly effective contraceptive method (such as an IUD, contraceptive pill, or condom) during the study period and within 3 months after the last study drug administration; male subjects whose partners are women of reproductive age should be surgically sterilized or agree to use effective contraception during the study period and for 3 months after the last study dosing.
  • Willing and able to comply with research procedures and visit plans.

Exclusion

  • Whole-body CT, MRI, or PET-CT confirms distant metastases (M1). Patients with complete intestinal obstruction, active bleeding, or perforation requiring emergency surgery.
  • The presence of other active malignancies in the past or at the same time (except malignancies that have received curative treatment and have been free of disease for more than 5 years or cancers in situ that can be cured by adequate treatment).
  • Thrombotic or embolic events (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, including transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis) occurred in the 12 months prior to study entry.
  • Myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris, NYHA grade 2 or higher cardiac dysfunction, clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia, and symptomatic congestive heart failure in the 12 months prior to enrollment.
  • Systemic antibiotic use ≥7 days within 4 weeks prior to enrollment, or unexplained fever \>38.5°C during screening or prior to first dosing (fever due to tumor could be included).
  • Had received major operations such as laparotomy, thoracotomy, laparoscopic resection of organs, or severe trauma within 2 months before enrollment (the surgical incision should be completely healed before enrollment in this clinical trial).

  • Untreated active hepatitis (hepatitis B defined as HBV-DNA ≥500 IU/ml; hepatitis C defined as HCV-RNA above the lower detection limit of analytical methods) or co-infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
  • A known or suspected history of allergy to any of the relevant drugs used in the study.
  • Pregnant or lactating women. Women of reproductive age who do not use effective non-hormonal contraception (or refuse to use it) or men who are likely to have children.
