CRC8 A Randomized Phase III Study of Nivolumab after Combined Modality Therapy (CMT) in High-Risk Anal Cancer has closed to accrual after successfully reaching, and surpassing the target accrual.

This phase III trial investigates how well nivolumab after combined modality therapy works in treating patients with high risk stage II-IIIB anal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Closed to accrual: MAC23

MAC23 study, "RT CHARM:Phase III Randomized Trial of Hypofractionated Post-Mastectomy Radiation with Breast Reconstruction" was closed to accrual after reaching its accrual target. This randomized phase III trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in preventing recurrence in patients with stage IIa-IIIa cancer who have undergone mastectomy. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells that remain after surgery and have fewer side effects.
