Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies the side effects of LET-IMPT and standard chemotherapy, and how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage I-III anal canal squamous cell cancer. LET-IMPT is a type of radiation therapy that uses high energy proton "beamlets" to "paint" the radiation dose into the target and may help to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving LET-IMPT and standard chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with anal canal squamous cell cancer.

Experimental: Treatment (LET-IMPT, chemotherapy)
Patients undergo linear energy transfer-optimized intensity modulated proton therapy 5 times per week for 5-6 weeks. Patients also receive standard cisplatin and fluorouracil IV weekly for up to 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Physician-reported acute grade 3 or greater gastrointestinal, genitourinary and hematologic toxicities graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: At 12 weeks post-treatment ]Will tabulate results by type, grade, and attribution and compare with contemporary controls treated with standard-care volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-based chemoradiation with cisplatin and fluorouracil. Toxicity rates will be compared using a McNemar's chi-squared test for paired proportions. Subset analyses will be carried out to evaluate the effect of other variables that may also impact toxicity in addition to radiation modality.
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Feasibility as determined by number of patients enrolled [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Will assess accrual at 24 months after study open to determine feasibility of enrolling 40 patients and obtaining insurance approval for intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treatment over the planned 4 years.
- Guidelines and workflow development to create and deliver anal canal cancer treatments using linear energy transfer (LET)-optimized IMPT [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks post-treatment ]Will present results of workflows in a descriptive manner.
- Complete response defined as no evidence of disease by physical exam, endoscopy, and cross-sectional imaging [ Time Frame: At 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment ]Will be reported at 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment as determined clinically by physical exam, endoscopic examination and imaging.
- Local progression-free survival (LPFS) [ Time Frame: At 24 and 48 months ]LPFS is defined as either the recurrence of disease in the anal canal following clearance, progression of disease in the anal canal after completion of treatment or persistence of disease in anal canal for more than 6 months after completion of treatment. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimates will be reported using 95% confidence intervals. The date of failure will be recorded as 6 months after completion of treatment in the case of persistent, biopsy-proven disease after 6 months status-post completion of all therapy.
- Distant metastatic failure as determined by the appearance of distant metastatic disease [ Time Frame: At 24 and 48 months ]Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimates will be reported using 95% confidence intervals. The date of failure will be recorded as 6 months after completion of treatment in the case of persistent, biopsy-proven disease after 6 months status-post completion of all therapy.
- Disease-free survival [ Time Frame: The time to locoregional failure, appearance of distant metastases, or death due to any cause, assessed at 24 and 48 months ]Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimates will be reported using 95% confidence intervals.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Baseline to death due to any cause, assessed at 24 and 48 months ]Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimates will be reported using 95% confidence intervals.
- Patient-reported acute toxicity, function, distress and quality of life (QOL) [ Time Frame: At 12 weeks post-treatment ]Will use Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) CTCAE, European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ 5D), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Anal (EORTC QLQ-ANL 27), Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and Erectile Function Questionnaires (IIEF). The study will summarize and graph the distribution of scores for each instrument over time and analyze changes over time using mixed effects linear models.
- Patient-reported acute toxicity, function, distress and QOL [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]Will use PRO CTCAE, EQ 5D, EORTC QLQ-ANL 27, FSFI, and IIEF questionnaires. The study will summarize and graph the distribution of scores for each instrument over time and analyze changes over time using mixed effects linear models.
- Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) [ Time Frame: At 12 weeks post-treatment ]The study will evaluate the value of proton therapy by comparing Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing data from the date of consultation until the date of the 12-week follow up visit post-treatment with contemporary controls treated with VMAT. Costs will be tabulated as either treatment or toxicity-management related.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Dose to pelvic bone marrow, bowel, bladder and genitalia [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]Will be compared LET-optimized IMPT, traditionally optimized IMPT and VMAT. Dosimetric studies will be performed.
- Rates of leukopenia, neutropenia and lymphopenia [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]Will compare the on-treatment blood count nadirs for patients treated with LET-optimized IMPT with matched historical controls treated with VMAT. Continuous variables will be compared using Wilcoxon-Rank Sum test and corresponding p-values will be reported.
- Levels of white blood cell counts, absolute neutrophil counts, and absolute lymphocyte counts [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]Will be correlated with dose to the pelvic bone marrow for patients treated with LET-optimized IMPT. Will use Spearman rank correlation coefficient to evaluate for correlation.
- Optional co-enrollment on study 2014-0543 [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]Will use descriptive statistics and graphical methods.
