Brief Summary:
To determine the efficacy of reduced elective nodal radiation in anal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiation in reducing toxicity compared to standard nodal irradiation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Anal Cancer Radiation: Radiation (reduced elective nodal dose (30.6 Gy) Drug: Capecitabine Drug: Mitomycin c Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a multi-center, single arm prospective trial to evaluate whether reduced elective nodal dose (30.6 Gy) reduces toxicity as defined by the CTCAE Toxicity Index compared to historic patients treated with standard nodal dose on NRG/RTOG0529 and patient reported GI toxicity using the validated PRO-CTCAE scale for diarrhea compared to historic patients treated on UC-GI-1601.

10 mg/m2 slow IV push Day 1 and 29


Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assess Toxicity Index for all GI, GU, Dermatologic, and Hematologic CTCAE events from treatment initiation through 90 days post treatment [ Time Frame: 90 days post treatment ]
    Toxicity Index for all GI, GU, Dermatologic, and Hematologic CTCAE events from treatment initiation through 90 days post treatment. In patients treated with IMRT enrolled to NRG/RTOG 0529, the mean GI/GU/Derm/Hem TI was 3.858 (SD=0.892) assessed during this time period with standard nodal dose using a simultaneous integrated boost technique. Thirty-three patients will allow an effect size of 0.4 with 80% power and one-sided alpha of 0.05. This effect size is larger than the difference in toxicity observed compared to the historic standard of 3D-conformal radiation with IMRT (current standard) and thus felt to represent a clinically meaningful difference. The CTCAE Toxicity index will be determined for all Dermatologic, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, and hematologic events within 90 days from treatment initiation that are possible, probably, or definitely attributable to treatment.

  2. Assess patient reported GI toxicity using PRO-CTCAE Diarrhea [ Time Frame: 9 weeks post treatment ]
    PRO-CTCAE Diarrhea will be used to assess patient reported GI toxicity for the primary endpoint at weeks 3, 5, and 9 (approximately 1-month post-treatment). Any high grade PRO-CTCAE Diarrhea (frequently/almost constantly) in week 3-9 was reported in 71% of patients on a prior trial in this population (UC-GI-1601) with standard nodal dose. With n=33 at alpha =0.05 (actual alpha=0.033) and power=0.80, we can detect a reduction in the proportion of patients reporting any PRO-CTCAE high grade diarrhea (week 3, 5, 9) of at least 22.3%.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Colostomy-Free-Survival - measured by follow up without colostomy [ Time Frame: 3 years (Patients followed 3 years post Treatment) ]
    Colostomy-Free-Survival - Time from treatment completion to any colostomy or last follow up without colostomy.

  2. Disease Free Survival measured by digital rectal exam [ Time Frame: 3 and 6 months post treatment ]
    Disease Free Survival - Failure to achieve complete response (CR) at 6 months or subsequent recurrence. There will be a documented clinical response assessment of the primary anal tumor primarily by using digital rectal exam at 3 and 6 months to define clinical complete response along with a review of imaging at 6 months. Any residual tumor at 6 months would be considered "failure to achieve a complete response" and would be considered a DFS event. Resolution of the primary tumor after chemoradiation and recurrence of tumor (any size) would be considered a DFS event. Persistence of disease in grossly enlarged lymph node (GTV Gross Nodes) at 6 months or resolution and then recurrence (any size) would be considered DFS event. New lesions in the elective nodal space or any other location will be considered a DFS event.

  3. Local Regional Recurrence [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    Local Regional Recurrence - All failures within the PTVs for the primary tumor, for the involved Lymph Nodes, or for the Elective Lymph Nodes, including both patients who failed to achieve CR at 6 months and those occurring more than 6 months after completion of chemoradiation after initial CR.

  4. Overall Survival - measured by survival or death at follow up [ Time Frame: 3 years (Patients followed 3 years post Treatment) ]
    Overall Survival - Time from registration to death or last follow up

  5. Proportion of patients requiring a treatment break due to toxicity; measured by more than 3 consecutive fractions missed. [ Time Frame: Measured during the 5.5 - 6 week treatment period ]
    Treatment breaks- The proportion of patients requiring a treatment break due to toxicity (more than 3 consecutive fractions missed) will be monitored and reported. In RTOG 0529, 50% of patients treated with standard nodal dose required a treatment break.

    2. Patients with perianal cancer that is HPV associated (P16+) will be eligible if the tumor extends to the anal verge and the CTV will include the mesorectal, internal/external iliac, and inguinal lymph nodes.
    3. Patients with excision of the primary tumor but with node positive disease or residual disease at the primary if T3T4N0 will be eligible.
  3. ECOG performance status 0 or 1 (or Karnofsky ≥70, see Appendix A).
