This study is being done to understand how many people with HIV (PWH) present for cancer care across the AIDS Malignancy Consortium in the United States and if there are reasons that some PWH choose to participate, or not in cancer clinical trials. Optional quality of life surveys will be used to learn more about how HIV and cancer and HIV and cancer treatment affect people.
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.
A single-arm, prospective, Phase II, single-center clinical trial that will investigate if daily online adaptive radiotherapy for anal cancer will significantly reduce early treatment-related GI toxicity compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
This study proposal includes a prospective clinical trial of bone sparing treatment planning in anal cancer patients. We seek to lower the risk of bone damage, while adhering with the constrains to the bowel, bladder and other conventional Organs At Risk, and finally to describe the fraction of pelvic insufficiency fractures in patients treated with optimized radiotherapy.
This is a phase III, multi-center, double-blind randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy and safety of concurrent mitomycin C/5-Fu chemotherapy and long-course IMRT combined with PD-1 antibody Sintilimab for locally advanced anal canal squamous carcinoma patients, by comparing an experiment group (traditional chemoradiotherapy with PD-1 antibody Sintilimab) with a control group (traditional treatment without Sintilimab).
Curative radiochemotherapy (RCT) for anal carcinoma (AC) is associated with considerable acute and long-term toxicity. The acute toxicity derives from the combined effects of radiation and chemotherapy and is dominated by localized skin mucositis, diarrhoea and pain from radiation and nausea, fatigue, anemia/leukopenia, diarrhoea and general skin dryness from chemotherapy. Cholera induced diarrhoea, as well as other forms of diarrhoea-inducing agents, has been shown to elicit a stimulated, endogenous production of a protein, named "antisecretory factor" (ASF). This protein has been chemically characterized in detail. ASF acts by modulating secretion of water and ions but also counteracts inflammatory processes. With this background the present study will investigate if induction of endogenous ASF by intake of SPC-flakes might be beneficial in AC patients to prevent RCT induced adverse events (AEs) and if administration of ASF from Salovum provides additional benefit (explorative).
Due to the scarcity of data on prognostic and predictive influence on CCA, epidemiological studies evaluating these factors need to be developed in patients with CCA. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the profile of patients in the real world and from various parts of the world, describing prognostic factors such as CD4 dosage, time of HIV infection, evaluation of viral load, diagnosis of AIDS, geographic region of diagnosis and treatment, clinical staging, medications concomitant with QRT (risk of drug interactions), comorbidities (possible impact on dose-intensity), use of HAART, time of use of HAART, radiotherapy modality (conventional 3D vs Modulated Beam Intensity [IMRT], response to Nigro vs CTII regimens, as well as comparing clinical outcomes with patients without HIV infection.
To investigate the prognostic and predictive value of plasma HPV (pHPV) prior, during and after induction chemotherapy (ICT) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) or synchronous metastatic SCCA patients treated with ICT prior to definitive (chemo)radiotherapy ((C)RT) according to multidisciplinary team (MDT) conferences based decisions. Further to investigate the use of pHPV measurements and other relevant markers for prediction of response and survival after ICT prior to definitive (C)RT.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal is a rare cancer with an increasing incidence. It represents 2.5% of digestive cancers and occurs more frequently in immunocompromised persons, in particular HIV positive. It is a cancer that develops essentially locally, with only 5% of metastases at diagnosis. The reference treatment for forms deemed localized after clinico-bio-radiological pre-therapeutic evaluation is radiochemotherapy allowing a 5-year survival rate of about 80%. However, up to 30% of patients fail radiochemotherapy. Failure is defined as persistent disease (non response or progression in 10 to 15% of patients) or relapse (local or metastatic in 10 to 15% of patients). Salvage surgery by abdominoperineal amputation is indicated in this case after elimination of the metastatic character with an overall survival rate at 5 years varying from 23 to 69%. This complex and cumbersome surgery is burdened with significant postoperative morbidity with alteration of the quality of life. Investigators would like to perform a retrospective and prospective study in the Paris Saint-Joseph hospital group to evaluate the interest of abdominoperineal amputation in case of failure of radiochemotherapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal.
