In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The proposed study is a phase II, single arm, open-label trial of MR-guided radiation therapy (RT) with risk stratified RT dose selection in patients with anal cancer. Based on previous data, a risk adaptive treatment approached is proposed in 4 groups: Low risk, standard risk, intermediate risk, and high risk. Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA will be analyzed to identify novel biomarkers that predict chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response and toxicity.

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with pathologically proven diagnosis of anal SCC. This may include tumors of non-keratinizing histology such as basoloid or cloacogenic histology. Individuals with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal margin are eligible. * Clinical stage T1-4 N0-1 M0 (the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) / the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th Ed) * Patients must be eligible for definitive RT or CRT * Must be ≥ 18 years of age * Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 Exclusion Criteria: * Previous chemotherapy, RT or curative-intent surgical treatment (i.e. APR) for anal cancer. * Any previous RT to the abdomino-pelvic region that would result in overlap of RT volume for the current study. * Individuals with a history of a different malignancy except if they have been disease-free for at least 2 years and are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence. Individuals with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: cervical cancer in situ, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
