Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
A monocentric window of opportunity study preceded by a safety run-in phase. The study population will include locally advanced colon patients (T3 or T4).
Detailed Description
An initial 6-patients safety run-in cohort will be followed by an expansion cohort, with a planned accrual of 16 patients. Patients will receive nivolumab at a flat dosage of 240 mg every two weeks o...
