The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of combining cemiplimab, cemiplimab/fianlimab, or cemiplimab/REGN7075 with capecitabine/oxaliplatin (CAPOX) for the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) locally advanced rectal cancer (T2 node-positive, T3 node-negative, T3 node-positive).

Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate
Proportion of subjects with a pathologic complete response (pCR) at the time of surgery. pCR is defined as subjects with no viable tumor cell noted on pathological evaluation of the resection specimen using the College of American Pathologists (CAP) tumor regression scoring system (CAP tumor regression score of 0).
Time frame: 24 months
Number of participants experiencing grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities
When calculating the incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v6.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Time frame: 12 weeks
Pathologic Response Rate
Pathologic response rate as defined as the proportion of subjects with complete or partial tumor regression at the time of surgery using the College of American Pathologists (CAP) tumor regression scoring system (CAP tumor regression score of 0 to 2).
Time frame: 24 months
Event-free Survival (EFS)
EFS is defined as the number of months from the date of initiation of neoadjuvant treatment to disease relapse or development of metastatic disease (as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. EFS will be censored at the date of the last scan for subjects without documentation of disease progression at the time of analysis.
Time frame: 24 months
Composite Complete Response Rate
Composite complete response rate is defined as the proportion of subjects with either a pathologic complete response (pCR) or those that remain disease-free for 24 months on radiographic imaging and endoscopic evaluation for those that elected to not go to surgery. pCR is defined as subjects with no viable tumor cell noted on pathological evaluation of the resection specimen using the College of American Pathologists (CAP) tumor regression scoring system (CAP tumor regression score of 0).
