The CRC.8 clinical trial is a Randomized Phase II Study of Nivolumab after Combined Modality Therapy (CMT) in High-Risk Anal Cancer, which has been centrally activated. This randomized phase II clinical trial studies how well nivolumab after combined modality therapy works in treating patients with high risk stage II-IIIB anal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The DTL has now been implemented by the Clinical Trials Evaluation Program (CTEP) for selected trials. The first National Clinical Trials Network Trial (NCTN) where CCTG is using the DTL is the BLC.4 trial. An active DTL is now a requirement for CCTG sites following approval of the BLC.4 Revision #3. Other upcoming studies that will be using the DTL initially include MAC.24 and REC.4.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) Operations and Statistical Centre (OSC), based at the Queen’s University Cancer Research Institute in Kingston, Ontario is seeking a physician with hematology or oncology training with demonstrated interest and experience with developing and cancer therapy trials.
Senior investigators work at the OSC with members of the investigational new drug and disease-specific and trial endpoint committees, which have national investigator leadership and membership, to develop and implement the CCTG clinical trials research agenda.
The results of the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) BL.12 phase II randomized trial were presented at ASCO 2018 by Dr. Srikala Sridhar, the BL.12 Study Chair. In this interview Dr. Sridhar discusses the BL.12 study and what is next for bladder cancer clinical trial research.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group is currently seeking additional members for our Clinical Research Associates Executive Committee (CRAEC). Please feel free to distribute this call for volunteers within your clinical trials department, and encourage applications from interested and qualified individuals.
The Delegation of Tasks Log (DTL) has now been implemented by the Clinical Trials Evaluation Program (CTEP) for selected trials. The first National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) trial where CCTG will be using the DTL is the BLC.4 trial. An active DTL has been added as a requirement for CCTG sites following approval of the BLC.4 Revision #3. Other studies that will be using the DTL initially include MAC.24 and REC.4.
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.
