REDEL Trial: Reduced Elective Nodal Dose for Anal Cancer Toxicity Mitigation
To determine the efficacy of reduced elective nodal radiation in anal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation in reducing toxicity compared to standard nodal irradiation.
Pencil Beam Proton Therapy for Recurrences in Anal Cancer Patients Previously Treated With Radiotherapy (DACG 5)
This protocol aims to determine toxicity and efficacy of re-irradiation for patients with recurrences from anal cancers with dose-escalated pencil beam proton therapy either pre-operative for marginally resectable recurrences or as a definitive treatment strategy (un-resectable, operation declined etc.). The over-all aim is to improve local tumor control with acceptable …
Study of Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Radiation for the Treatment of Early-Stage Anal Cancer
A single arm phase II study of pembrolizumab, carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation for the treatment of early-stage anal cancer. There are 2 treatments phases and then surveillance. The first treatment phase is the chemoradiation phase (Cycle 1-6, weekly cycles) which is followed by the maintenance phase (Cycle 7-14, 6 week …
Phase III Study Evaluating Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Chemoradiotherapy Compared to Standard Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced SCCA
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anus is still a rare disease but its incidence increases mostly due to its association with human papillomavirus (HPV). When localized, the standard treatment combines radiotherapy and chemotherapy with 5FU and mitomycin-C. Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) achieves a good outcome for early stage tumors (T1-T2 tumors without …
NOAC9 - Circulating Tumor DNA Guided Follow-Up in Anal Cancer
This study investigates if circulating tumor DNA can improve the detection of early treatment failure or recurrence in localized squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) after curative chemoradiotherapy thereby increasing the potential for cure. This will be done by comparing the standard follow-up program with ctDNA guided imaging follow-up. …
F-Tryptophan PET/CT in Human Cancers
Imaging procedures such as 1-(2-[18F]FLUOROETHYL)-L-Tryptophan PET/CT in patients with cancers may help doctors assess a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment in the future. The purpose is to see if there can be a better differentiation of tumor and non-tumor tissue where the tumor tissue has …
Adaptive Symptom Self-Management Immunotherapy Study
The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), alone or in combination with other cancer treatments is increasing dramatically with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) common (90%) during ICI treatment. Most irAEs are symptomatic and symptom self-management with timely reporting of moderate or severe symptoms to health care providers (HCPs) may reduce …
Designing a Dyad-Based MHealth Intervention to Improve Adherence to Lifestyle Recommendations in Colorectal Cancer Survivors and Their Family Caregivers
This clinical trial develops and tests a mobile health (mHealth) intervention to improve adherence to lifestyle recommendations in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors and their family caregivers. The current challenge for cancer survivorship is identifying novel approaches to help adhere to the lifestyle recommendations that have been shown to improve symptom …
Personalized Long-course Radiotherapy Plus Chemotherapy With or Without Immunotherapy for LARC: PALACE Study
The study is a multicenter, randomized controlled, phase III clinical study, and the purpose of the study is to explore the complete response rate (CR, Defined as pathological complete response (pCR) + Clinical complete response (cCR) sustained for over one year) of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC) treated with …
PREHAB - Improving Condition Before Surgery
The pilot research project is focused on the feasibility of a prehabilitation program for two groups of diagnoses (esophageal and stomach cancer, rectal cancer).
