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.

As 2020 begins, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the hard work and accomplishments of our network of researchers and collaborators, both nationally and internationally, over the past year.
This year we supported 67 ongoing trials while working with our scientific network to activate 15 new trials of which 10 are being led by CCTG. This includes the IND234 trial that opened three new treatment arms this year—IND234 is the first trial to evaluate a precision medicine approach for patients with advanced prostate cancer using liquid biopsies for genomic testing.
ENZAMET | CCTG PR17 (NCT02446405) study has been highlighted by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2020 annual report as a major advance in cancer treatment. The results were first presented at ASCO 2019, the trial demonstrated that hormone therapy with a drug called enzalutamide can improve the survival of some men with advanced, hormone‐sensitive prostate cancer.
