The PRODIGE 24/CCTG PA.6 trial results suggest that this pancreatic cancer treatment regimen should become standard practice world-wide. Patients who receive this treatment after surgery are almost twice as likely to survive.
The abstract for the RELEVANCE/LY.16 study was presented at ASCO on June 3rd, 2018. This study compared the effects of lenalidomide plus rituximab (R2) to chemotherapy plus rituximab (R-chemo) followed by rituximab maintenance in patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma.
New results from the groundbreaking “Trial Assigning Individualized Options for Treatment Rx” (TAILORx) breast cancer trial (CCTG MAC.12 in Canada), show no benefit from chemotherapy for 70% of women with the most common form of breast cancer. The study found that for a group of women with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2 negative, axillary lymph node-negative breast cancer, treatment with chemotherapy and hormone therapy after surgery is not more beneficial than with hormone therapy alone.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group's (CCTG) Supportive Care (former Symptom Control) Committee (SCC) is currently seeking individuals with interest and experience in supportive care trials to join the SCC Executive. In broad terms (adapted from the CCTG's Terms of Reference) the roles of the Disease Site Committee (DSC) Executive members are to:

Newly released clinical trial results show a substantial increase in survival rates for pancreatic cancer patients who received a four-drug chemotherapy combination known as mFOLFIRINOX after surgery. The randomized phase III clinical trial was sponsored by the academic cancer research groups of UNICANCER, in Paris, France and the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG).
Clinical trials are not always about finding a new drugs that works, sometimes they look at what treatments, or what doses, are necessary for patients.
