Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies surgery in treating patients with anal canal or perianal cancer that is small and has not spread deeply into the tissues and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Local surgery may be a safer treatment with fewer side effects than bigger surgery or radiation and chemotherapy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma HIV Infection Stage 0 Anal Canal Cancer Stage I Anal Canal Cancer Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional Surgery Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the proportion of participants who develop treatment failure by 3 years is less than 25%, defined as the occurrence of distant or any nodal metastases or recurrence of cancer requiring chemotherapy (CMT), defined as a cancer that no longer meets the definition of superficially invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SISCCA) or a cancer that cannot be excised with a clear margin or preservation of sphincter function, or those who develop SISCCA recurrence but elect to undergo CMT rather than repeat excision in patients originally treated with excision of anal canal and perianal SISCCA.

II. To define the 1-year proportion of participants who develop incident anal squamous cancers at sites other than the location of the index SISCCA in patients treated with excision of anal canal and perianal SISCCA.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine morbidities associated with local excision of SISCCA and treatment of concomitant HSIL, including non-healing ulcer, fissure, persistent pain and bleeding, stricture, incontinence, and colostomy at 3 years after enrollment.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the human papillomavirus (HPV) type in cancer and compare to that of overlying high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and HSIL biopsies collected concurrently that did not progress to cancer.

II. To determine and compare the HPV integration site in the anal cancer as well as in HSIL overlying or contiguous with the cancer and HSIL biopsies collected concurrently that did not progress to cancer.

III. Perform gene expression array analysis comparing expression in anal cancer with HSIL overlying or contiguous with the cancer.

IV. Perform gene expression array analysis comparing expression in HSIL biopsies that progressed to cancer with non-progressing HSIL biopsies at other locations.

V. Characterize genetic changes in anal cancers compared with HSIL overlying or contiguous with the cancer.

VI. Characterize genetic changes in HSIL biopsies that progressed to cancer compared with non-progressing HSIL biopsies at other locations.

VII. Perform gene expression array analysis and characterize genetic changes of SISCCAs that were cured with wide local excision for comparison with SISCCAs that progressed after wide local excision.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo surgery to remove anal or perianal cancer. Any HSIL remaining is treated with the goal for complete eradication in accordance with clinician and participant preference.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 36 months.

Procedure: Therapeutic Conventional Surgery
Undergo surgery to remove anal or perianal cancer (SISCCA)




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To determine if the proportion of participants who develop treatment failure by 3 years is less than 25%. [ Time Frame: 3 years after surgery to remove SISCCA ]
    Treatment failure is specifically defined as the occurrence of distant or any nodal metastases or recurrence of cancer that no longer meets the definition of SISCCA and that cannot be excised with a clear margin or preservation of sphincter function and requires CMT, or those who develop SISCCA recurrence but elect to undergo CMT rather than repeat excision in patients originally treated with excision of anal canal and perianal SISCCA.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The cumulative proportion of study participants who have experienced treatment failure by 3 years will be estimated using the product-limit estimate and its 95% confidence interval using Greenwood's formula. [ Time Frame: 3 years after surgery to remove SISCCA ]
    To determine morbidities associated with local excision of SISCCA and treatment of concomitant HSIL

  2. The rate of treatment related adverse events including non-healing ulcer, fissure, persistent pain and bleeding, stricture, incontinence, and colostomy 6 months after excision of SISCCA. [ Time Frame: 6 months after surgery to remove SISCCA ]
    To determine morbidities associated with local excision of SISCCA and treatment of concomitant HSIL


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Collection of clinical specimens (composite) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]
    Clinical specimens, specifically the index SISCCA and the overlying or adjacent HSIL, and HSIL that did not progress to SISCCA and other clinical data will be collected to create a bank of well-annotated specimens that will enable correlative science: to assess viral factors in HSIL progression to cancer and to identify host factors in HSIL progression to cancer.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A single, biopsy-proven SISCCA as defined by the LAST criteria (=< 3mm depth of invasion, horizontal spread of =< 7 mm, and completely excised with at least 1 mm margin clear of cancer irrespective of the amount of HSIL) documented per investigator assessment in combination with the pathology report within 12 months before Segment B enrollment.
  • No evidence of any lymph node spread or distant metastases as determined by PET CT imaging within 16 weeks before Segment B enrollment. Alternatively, for those without PET CT capability, an MRI or CT of the abdomen and pelvis and a chest x-ray confirming no evidence of metastatic disease is acceptable.
  • Clinician believes that eradication of concomitant HSIL is reasonable and feasible based on the extent of disease and overall medical condition of the subject
  • HIV-1 infection, as documented by one of the following: licensed HIV screening (antibody and/or HIV antibody/antigen combination assay confirmed by a second licensed HIV assay such as a HIV-1 Western blot confirmation or HIV rapid multispot antibody differentiation assay, Documentation of HIV diagnosis in the medical record by a licensed HIV rapid test health care provider, HIV-1 RNA detection by a licensed HIV-1 RNA assay demonstrating >1000 RNA copies/mL, or Documentation of receipt of ART by a licensed health care provider.
  • Prior to Segment B enrollment, patients on combination anti-retroviral therapy (cART) will be required to have a minimum cluster of differentiation (CD)4 count of >= 200 and patients not on cART will be required to have a minimum CD4 count of >=350 to be eligible for the study; patients not currently on cART who have a CD4 count > 200 and who agree to start cART immediately will be eligible for participation; laboratory data should be obtained within 16 weeks prior to Segment B enrollment

  • Participants must, in the opinion of the Investigator, be capable of complying with the requirements of this protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Anal cancer that cannot be completely excised with a >=1 mm clear margin from surrounding tissue or where excision to obtain a clear margin would compromise sphincter function or anal canal diameter

  • No prior history of anal cancer, including SISCCA
  • Ongoing use of anticoagulant therapy other than aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) that cannot be stopped for surgical procedures
  • Acute treatment for an infection (excluding fungal infection of the skin and sexually transmitted infections) or other serious medical illness within 2 weeks before enrollment
