  • Feasibility Study of Adaptive Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Locally-Advanced Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Principal Investigator:

    Lisa Ann Kachnic, MD, FASTRO

    Contact Number:

    212-342-5162

    NCT Number:

    NCT05838391

    Population:

    Adult
    The purpose of this study is to find out if performing adaptive planning during the treatment anal cancer will decrease the dose of radiation to normal organs and decrease the side effects. In this study, subjects will have a daily adjustment (adaptation) of their radiation plan as the tumor changes during the radiation treatment. The radiation will be given as part the standard of care treatment with chemotherapy, known as chemo-RT (CRT). Are you Eligible? (Inclusion Criteria) To be considered for this study, you must: 1. Have invasive anal cancer confirmed with biopsy 2. Be greater than 18...

  • A Randomized Phase II Study of De-Intensified ChemoRadiation for Early-Stage Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (DECREASE)

    Principal Investigator:

    David P. Horowitz, MD

    This study is being done to answer the following question: Is using a lower-dose regimen of chemoradiation therapy as effective and does it have fewer side effects, compared to the standard-dose regimen of chemoradiation therapy for patients with anal cancer? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your anal cancer. There is not an established treatment that is individualized for patients with early-stage anal cancer. However, the usual approach is defined as care most people get for anal cancer. Are you Eligible? (...
