Shortening Radiation Course Duration Using Simultaneous Integrated Boost With Lower Intensity Elective Nodal Dosing and Concurrent Chemotherapy for High-Risk Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SSIBLING)

10. September 2026 aktualisiert von: Christopher Anker, University of Vermont Medical Center

Shortening Radiation Course Duration Via Simultaneous Integrated Boost With Lower Intensity Elective Nodal Dosing While Giving Concurrent Chemotherapy for High-risk Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma - a Phase 2 Study

This phase 2 single-arm study will evaluate whether a shortened course of mildly hypofractionated radiation therapy given with standard concurrent chemotherapy (mitomycin C and capecitabine) can provide acceptable tumor control in patients with high-risk non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma. Standard chemoradiation for anal cancer typically requires approximately 5.5 to 6 weeks of daily radiation, which can create substantial logistical burden for patients and caregivers, particularly those in rural settings.

The investigational approach uses a 23-fraction radiation regimen designed to shorten treatment duration while maintaining biologically equivalent tumor-directed dosing compared with standard treatment. The primary question is whether this shorter chemoradiation regimen can achieve an acceptable 6-month complete clinical response rate while maintaining manageable toxicity.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Standard chemoradiation for high-risk non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma typically requires approximately 27 to 30 fractions of radiation delivered over 5.5 to 6 weeks with concurrent chemotherapy. While effective, this prolonged treatment course creates substantial logistical burden for patients and caregivers, particularly for those living in rural regions with limited access to radiation oncology facilities.

This phase 2, single-arm study evaluates a shortened hypofractionated chemoradiation approach designed to reduce treatment duration while maintaining biologically comparable tumor-directed dosing relative to conventional treatment regimens. The investigational radiation regimen uses a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) approach delivering 23 fractions over approximately 4.5 weeks, with reduced elective nodal dosing and concurrent standard-of-care chemotherapy consisting of mitomycin C and capecitabine.

The study focuses on patients with high-risk non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma, including larger primary tumors and/or node-positive disease, a population for whom treatment de-escalation strategies are generally not appropriate. The primary objective is to evaluate whether this shortened regimen achieves an acceptable 6-month complete clinical response rate. Secondary objectives include assessment of survival outcomes, disease control, treatment interruptions, clinician- and patient-reported toxicity, quality of life, and treatment burden.

Exploratory correlative analyses will evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) collected at protocol-specified time points to assess correlations between circulating biomarkers and clinical outcomes. The study also includes optional qualitative patient and caregiver interviews to better understand treatment experience and logistical burden associated with cancer therapy.

Beschreibung

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma meeting one of the following criteria:

T2 tumor measuring ≥4 cm T3 or T4 disease Any node-positive disease

  • Patients with HPV-associated (p16-positive) perianal cancer are eligible if the tumor extends to the anal verge
  • Karnofsky Performance Status >60
  • Creatinine clearance >30 mL/min
  • Considered by the investigator to be appropriate candidates for concurrent capecitabine and mitomycin C chemotherapy

  • Participants of reproductive potential must agree to use adequate contraception during study treatment and for 90 days after completion of therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

Zeitfenster
Complete Clinical Response Rate at 6 Months
Zeitfenster: 6 months after start of radiation therapy
Proportion of participants achieving complete clinical response, defined as absence of tumor and malignant ulceration in the anal canal and perianal skin on digital rectal examination and/or anoscopy, with resolution of palpable inguinal lymphadenopathy if present at baseline. Biopsy may be used when clinically indicated to confirm persistent disease.

Fecal Incontinence Severity Index Score
Zeitfenster: Baseline through 24 months
The Fecal Incontinence Severity Index is a patient-reported measure of fecal incontinence severity based on the frequency of accidental leakage of gas, mucus, liquid stool, and solid stool. Total scores range from 0 to 61, with higher scores indicating more severe fecal incontinence.
Baseline through 24 months
Hazard Ratio for Clinical Recurrence According to HPV ctDNA Detection Status
Zeitfenster: Baseline through 24 months

HPV ctDNA will be measured in serial plasma samples using a laboratory-based HPV ctDNA assay and categorized as detectable or undetectable. We will assess the correlation between baseline HPV ctDNA levels and selected clinical features via a Wilcoxon test. We will test for correlations between HPV ctDNA detection and recurrence-free survival using a landmark Cox proportional hazards model, with recurrence-free survival compared using the log-rank test

Clinical recurrence will be based on radiographic imaging, endoscopic assessment, and/or clinical examination, as determined by the evaluating physician. HPV ctDNA detection will not be considered a recurrence event.
