BRC8 MRI Brain Surveillance Alone versus MRI Surveillance and Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI): A Randomized Phase III Trial in Small-Cell Lung Cancer (MAVERICK)" has been centrally activated.
The CCTG Trialblazers raised $7200 as part of the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay For Life "At Home" event.
CCTG investigators are contributing to COVID-19 research by developing and leading innovative, cutting-edge clinical trials to support patients with cancer.
Congratulations to the 2019-2020 New Investigator Cancer Trials Practicum graduates!
There were four recent publications, including the primary publication for CCTG CO.26: A Phase II Randomized Study of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab and Best Supportive Care vs Best Supportive Care Alone in Patients with Advanced Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Refractory to Standard Therapies.
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.
The CCTG Connection will be on hiatus until the Fall.
