Anal squamous cell carcinoma

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called EVOLVE104 in people with advanced bladder cancer or several types of squamous cell carcinoma (lung, esophagus, skin, and others). The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the drug can shrink tumors. It is for pati…

This study tests an experimental drug called IDP-001 in people with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, including certain lung, head and neck, and other cancers. The trial has two phases: first to check safety and find the right dose, then to see if the drug can shrink tumors. A…

This study tests whether a blood test (ctDNA) can help doctors customize the dose of chemoradiation for people with anal cancer. Depending on how the tumor responds, some patients may get a lower radiation dose to reduce side effects, while others may get a higher dose or an adde…

This study tests an experimental drug called SMP-3124LP, which is a liposomal (fat-encapsulated) version of a cancer-fighting compound. It is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The trial has two parts: first, finding the safest d…

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can improve outcomes for people with early-stage anal cancer. About 23 participants will receive the combination treatment, followed by maintenance therapy. The main goal i…

This phase 3 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug sintilimab can replace the chemotherapy drug mitomycin in standard chemoradiation for limited-stage anal squamous cell carcinoma. About 350 patients who have not yet been treated will receive either the standard regimen (rad…

This phase 2 trial tests a new way to deliver radiation therapy for anal cancer using MRI guidance to adjust doses based on each patient's risk level. About 80 adults with anal squamous cell carcinoma will receive different radiation schedules depending on their tumor risk group.…

This study tests whether a single infusion of a patient's own genetically engineered immune cells (E7 TCR-T cells) can shrink or eliminate HPV-related cancers before the patient receives standard treatment like chemo-radiation or surgery. The trial enrolls 15 adults with advanced…

This study tests a new immunotherapy for people with advanced HPV-related cancers, such as cervical, throat, anal, and penile cancers. Participants receive specially engineered immune cells designed to attack cancer cells carrying the HPV16 virus. The goal is to see if this treat…

This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) to standard chemoradiation can better control anal squamous cell cancer and reduce the chance of it coming back. It includes 241 adults aged 18-75 with different stages of the disease, from early to advanced or rec…

This study tests whether combining two drugs, lenvatinib and pembrolizumab, can shrink or control advanced anal or rectal cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. About 35 adults with this type of cancer will receive the drug combination. The goal i…

This pilot study tests whether using artificial intelligence to adjust radiation plans daily can better target tumors while sparing healthy organs in people with locally advanced anal cancer. Twenty participants will receive standard radiation over six weeks, but each day's plan …

This study is testing a simple blood test that looks for tumor DNA from HPV-related cervical and anal cancers after radiation treatment. The goal is to see if this test can replace expensive imaging scans and help doctors find early signs of cancer returning. If the test is posit…

This study is for people with early-stage anal cancer. It tests whether skipping radiation to the groin (when scans and biopsies show no cancer there) works just as well as giving it, while causing fewer side effects and better quality of life. About 45 participants will receive …

This phase 3 trial tests whether giving a specific chemotherapy combination (mDCF) before standard chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with locally advanced anal cancer. About 310 adults with stage T3-4 or N1 anal cancer will be randomly assigned to either standard …

This study looks at different screening methods to find anal precancer in people at high risk, such as those with weakened immune systems or a history of certain genital cancers. Researchers will compare tests like high-resolution anoscopy, HPV testing, and cell samples to see wh…

This study is for women with anal cancer who need pelvic radiation. It tests whether using a vaginal dilator during each radiation session can reduce the risk of vaginal narrowing (stenosis) after treatment. Half of the 60 participants will use the dilator during radiation, and t…

This study looks at whether a blood test can detect HPV DNA in people with HPV-related anal or cervical cancer who are receiving radiation therapy. Researchers will collect blood samples before, during, and after treatment to see if the virus's genetic material shows up and if it…
