CCTG has opened the anticipated international brain cancer study CCTG CE9 (LUMOS2) - joining forces with the Australian Cooperative Trials Group for Neuro-Oncology (COGNO) to make enrollment accessible to Canadian patients.
Botensilimab + Balstilimab vs Best Supportive Care as Therapy in Chemo-refractory, Unresectable, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma: The BATTMAN Trial
STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) with Lenvatinib vs STRIDE Alone in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SLIDE-HCC)
The CCTG ES3 NEEDS international esophageal cancer clinical trial is now opened in Canada. The study is investigating whether delaying surgery for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is as good as the current treatment.
Venetoclax and HMA-based Therapies for the Treatment of Older and Unfit Adults with Newly Diagnosed FLT3-mutated AML: A myeloMATCH Treatment Trial
Phase 2 Trial of ASTX727 and Venetoclax Compared with ASTX727, Venetoclax, and Enasidenib for Newly Diagnosed Older Adults with IDH2 Mutant AML - A myeloMATCH Substudy
Eradicating MRD in Patients with AML prior to Stem Cell Transplant (ERASE)
LUNA-2: LND101 in Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Trial
VIGOR: Vorasidenib as Maintenance Treatment after First-line Chemoradiotherapy in IDH-mutant Grade 2 or 3 Astrocytoma
RAINBO-ORANGE: Treatment of Endometrial Cancer Based On Molecular Features
In April 2024, at the CCTG Spring Meeting of Participants, the CCTG Patient Representative Committee members participated in a facilitated session designed to identify the research topics that Committee members view as being most important to cancer patients and caregivers. The outcome of the workshop resulted in the identification by the CCTG reps of six Cancer Research Priorities.
Trial-specific DSMC Summary Reports are now posted on trial websites. Single-study centres participating on these trials should download these reports and submit them to their Research Ethics Boards if required by local policy. Trials currently under CCTG's DSMC oversight include:
Permanent trial closure for MAC4 (IBCSG 24-02): A Phase III Trial Evaluating the Role of Ovarian Function Suppression and the Role of Exemestane as Adjuvant Therapies for Premenopausal Women With Endocrine Responsive Breast Cancer and MAC5 (IBCSG 25-02): A Phase III Trial Evaluating the Role of Exemestane Plus GnRH Analogue as Adjuvant Therapy for Premenopausal Women with Endocrine Responsive Breast Cancer
The new BLC6 MODERN phase II/III clinical trial will investigate the role of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood to see if it is an effective guide for what type of immunotherapy is most effective. Researchers want to understand whether a blood test can more effectively determine who should get immunotherapy after surgery for bladder cancer and which immunotherapy treatment is best.
