The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) has announced that the recipient of the 2025 TAT Honorary Award is Philippe Bedard, Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto, Staff Medical Oncologist in the Division of Medical Oncology, Director of the Cancer Genomics Program, and a Principal Investigator in the Bras Drug Development Program at the Princess
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) has been awarded $742,052 for the PAC5 clinical trial in the CIHR Fall 2024 Project Grant competition. This phase III trial will test lanreotide for the prevention of one of the most severe complications of pancreatic surgery, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF).
“The PAC5 clinical trial has the potential to change the standard of care for postoperative pancreatic fistula prophylaxis, significantly benefiting patients and reducing healthcare system costs,” says CCTG Senior Investigator, Chris O’Callaghan.

The CCTG CO28 correlative study: Tumour-free ctDNA detection as a decision tool to support organ preservation in node-negative rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, excision, and observation, was presented by Dr Jonathan Loree at GI ASCO 2025. This oral abstract assessed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with T1-T3, N0 rectal cancer and found that ctDNA effectively identifies cancers with inadequate response to chemotherapy for which a more radical surgery is recommended.
