COLOMBE is a multicenter, single arm, phase 1/2 trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imiquimod cream with IV low dose nivolumab in primary resectable vulvar squamous cell carcinoma patients prior to surgery, leveraging the preoperative "window of opportunity" period, an unavoidable interval due to surgical scheduling.

| Evaluation of the Pathological Response | The pathological tumor response (pTR) is defined as the presence of tumor cell necrosis and keratinous debris with giant cell/histiocytic reaction, quantified as a percentage of the overall tumor bed (area pathologic response/area pathologic response plus viable tumor): pTR-0 (<10%), pTR-1 (10%-49%), pTR-2 (≥50%), pTR-3 (100%, complete response). The pTR will be quantified in increments of 10%. |
