Thanks to all of the CCTG sites who participated, making Canada one of the top 10 accruing countries globally and responsible for a quarter of the North American patients enrolled on the trial. As of December 2019 the final international accruals were 518 patients (target: 500) with 29 enrolled patients from Canada.
Clinical Research Associate (CRA) Volunteers Needed for Endpoint & Disease Site Executive Committees!

The Commonwealth Neuroendocrine Tumour (CommNETs) Research Collaborative held their annual research workshop on December 7 & 8th 2019 in Tokyo Japan. Operating within the auspices of CCTG and AGITG (Australasian Gastro-Intestinal Trials Group) CommNETs provides a valuable forum for NET research collaboration among Canadian, Australian and New Zealand clinicians, researchers and patient representatives.
Prof Annette Hay speaks to ecancer at the ASH 2019 meeting in Orlando about accrual barriers and detection of early toxicity signal in older, less-fit patients treated with azacitidine and nivolumab for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Prof Hay says that AML and MDS are typically diseases of older people, yet these patients are poorly represented in clinical trials.
