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)
Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy with Response-Adapted Treatment vs Standard-Of-Care Treatment For Resectable Stage III/IV Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
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.

Oral presentation at the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancer Symposium 2023 of results for the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) HE1 phase III study of palliative radiation therapy for symptomatic hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases.
The INTEGRATE IIa (CCTG GA3) study, a phase III trial evaluated regorafenib for the treatment of patients with advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer (AGOC), has met its primary endpoint of a statistically significant improvement in overall survival of about 30%. The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in patients with AGOC, whose disease has progressed after a minimum of two lines of prior anti-cancer therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease. The safety and tolerability were generally consistent with the known profile of regorafenib.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating stage III or stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research recently announced the recipients of the Clinical Trials Fund. The Canadian Cancer Trials Group with study lead Dr Elena Elimova at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre were granted $3,744,953 over 3 years to fund the CCTG GA4 study in HER2 overexpressing advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.
