Résumé

Chemoradiotherapy alone is the standard treatment for locally advanced squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC). However, up to 50% of patients will experience recurrence; thus, there is a need for new treatments to improve outcomes. Modified docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (mDCF) is a treatment option for first-line metastatic SCAC, having shown efficacy in the Epitopes-HPV01 and -02 trials (NCT01845779 and NCT02402842). mDCF treatment also plays a role in the modulation of anti-tumor immunity, suggesting it may be a good combination partner for immunotherapy in patients with SCAC. Anti-programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) immunotherapy has been shown to be effective in metastatic SCAC. We therefore designed the INTERACT-ION study to assess the combination of mDCF with ezabenlimab (BI 754091), an anti-PD-1 antibody, followed by chemoradiotherapy, in patients with Stage III SCAC.
