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.
Radiotherapy to Block (CURB2) Oligoprogression In Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) with Lenvatinib vs STRIDE Alone in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SLIDE-HCC)
LND101 for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Combination with Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Patients with Advanced Melanoma
Addition of Docetaxel to Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors in Patients with Metastatic Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer and Suboptimal PSA Response (TRIPLE-SWITCH)
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.
Eradicating MRD in Patients with AML prior to Stem Cell Transplant (ERASE)
VIGOR: Vorasidenib as Maintenance Treatment after First-line Chemoradiotherapy in IDH-mutant Grade 2 or 3 Astrocytoma
Botensilimab + Balstilimab vs Best Supportive Care as Therapy in Chemo-refractory, Advanced, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma: The BATTMAN Trial
Delayed Reduced Volume and Dose Elective Ratiotherapy (REVERT) in Patients with HNSCC
CALMS: Combination Therapy with Luspatercept in Lower Risk MDS CTEP approval: 2024AUG27 (date of US Steering Committee Evaluation)
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) is currently seeking applications for a Patient Representative volunteer for the Investigational New Drug (IND) Committee.
Please join CCTG on April 10 from 11:00 to 12:00 pm EST for a virtual round table on strategies for improving equity and access in cancer clinical trials. We are honoured to bring together Dr. Don S. Dizon and Dr. Sara Moore to guide us in this conversation which will be moderated by Dr. Janet Dancey. The goal of this discussion is to help participants consider strategies for enhancing clinical trial diversity and making clinical trials more accessible to all populations that may benefit from them.
Now open the CCTG PR24 ASCENDE-SBRT trial to determine whether stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can replace the current standard radiation treatment (brachytherapy boost) for men with unfavourable risk prostate cancer. SBRT is a non-invasive, high precision, less costly radiation technique that results in similar outcomes and tolerability to brachytherapy boost.
The results of the CX5/SHAPE clinical trial, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), conclude that a simple hysterectomy is a safe treatment option for women with low-risk early-stage cervical cancer. The Phase III international trial compared radical hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection with simple hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection.
