Regimen #1, James et al. 2013 (ACT II)
Level of Evidence: Phase III
- Fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion on days 1 to 4, 29 to 32
- Mitomycin (Mutamycin) 12 mg/m2 (maximum dose per cycle: 20 mg) IV bolus once on day 1
- Concurrent radiation therapy in James et al. 2013: 1.8 Gy per day x 28 fractions (total dose: 50.4 Gy), given over 5.5 weeks; see James et al. 2013 for details
5.5-week course
Regimen #2
Study | Evidence | Comparator |
UKCCCR Anal Cancer Trial Working Party 1996 (ACT I) | Phase III | Radiation |
Because there were a few different schedules used in UKCCCR Anal Cancer Trial Working Party 1996 and the update (Northover et al. 2010), there is some variability in potential schedules.
- Fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 4 days (total dose for the week's treatment: 4000 mg/m2) during the first and last weeks of radiation therapy, started at least 2 hours before the first radiation fraction
- Alternate dosing & schedule (per physician discretion): Fluorouracil (5-FU) 750 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 5 days (total dose for the week's treatment: 3750 mg/m2) during the first and last weeks of radiation therapy
- Mitomycin (Mutamycin) 12 mg/m2 (maximum dose per cycle: 20 mg) IV bolus once on day 1
- Concurrent radiation therapy: 1.8 or 2.25 Gy fractions x 20 or 25 fractions (total dose: 45 Gy), given over 4 to 5 weeks; see Northover et al. 2010 for details, including information about boost radiation therapy
4 or 5-week course
Regimen #3, Ajani et al. 2008 (RTOG 98-11)
Level of Evidence: Phase III
- Fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion on days 1 to 4, 29 to 32
- Mitomycin (Mutamycin) 10 mg/m2 (maximum dose per cycle: 20 mg) IV bolus once per day on days 1 & 29
- Concurrent radiation therapy; at a minimum: 1.8 Gy per day x 25 fractions (total dose: 45 Gy), given over 5 weeks; see Ajani et al. 2008 for additional details
5-week course
Supportive medications:
- "Patients received appropriate premedications and hydration."
