This phase II clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of three neoadjuvant regimens in patients with locally advanced microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair-deficient (MSI-H/dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC): 1) Regimen A: Dual immune checkpoint blockade with nivolumab plus ipilimumab. 2) Regimen B: Nivolumab plus radiotherapy. 3) Regimen C: Nivolumab monotherapy. The primary objectives are to determine whether: 1) Dual immune checkpoint blockade (Regimen A) is superior to nivolumab monotherapy (Regimen C); and 2) Immunotherapy plus radiotherapy (Regimen B) is superior to nivolumab monotherapy (Regimen C). Methods: Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the three arms. For patients with resectable tumors, surgical resection will be performed. In patients with low rectal cancer and poor prospects for sphincter preservation, a watch-and-wait (WW) strategy is an option if a clinical complete response (CR) is achieved following neoadjuvant therapy.

| 6 months after the enrollment of the last subject |
| Event-free survival (EFS) | The EFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first determination of inoperable disease progression, postoperative local recurrence or distant metastasis, tumor regrowth, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. | 36 months after the enrollment of the last subject |
| Overall survival (OS) | OS is defined as the time interval from enrollment to death of any reason or censoring. | 36 months after the enrollment of the last subject |
| Toxicities | Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events (TrAEs) reported between the first dose and 28 days after the last dose of study therapy as assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), version 5.0. | From the time of enrollment, assessed up to 28 days after the last dose of study therapy |
| Surgical morbidity | Surgery related adverse events (SRAEs) refer to complications which happen during or one month after surgery. Severe complications after surgery will be documented and classified by Clavien-Dindo classification, such as abdominal or GI tract bleeding, anastomotic fistula, pancreatic fistula of grade B or above, and incision complications (infection, bleeding, rupture). | During or one month after surgery |
| Surgical mortality | Death from any cause within 30 days of the date of surgery will be considered a surgical mortality death. | During or one month after surgery |
