This trial is for adults with untreated, selected stage I–III anal squamous-cell cancer who cannot receive standard fluorouracil/mitomycin chemoradiation. Stage IIIB/C tumors must be smaller than five centimeters.
The idea: combine radiation with weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel for six weeks, plus pembrolizumab in weeks one and four. Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 to support T-cell attacks on cancer. Eight maintenance pembrolizumab cycles follow, six weeks apart. Researchers measure complete clinical response at six months. Tumor tissue is required.
This phase 2 study plans 23 patients. Dustin Deming leads five recruiting US sites.
