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)
Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy with Response-Adapted Treatment vs Standard-Of-Care Treatment For Resectable Stage III/IV Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
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.
Eradicating MRD in Patients with AML prior to Stem Cell Transplant (ERASE)
VIGOR: Vorasidenib as Maintenance Treatment after First-line Chemoradiotherapy in IDH-mutant Grade 2 or 3 Astrocytoma
Botensilimab + Balstilimab vs Best Supportive Care as Therapy in Chemo-refractory, Unresectable, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma: The BATTMAN Trial
Delayed Reduced Volume and Dose Elective Ratiotherapy (REVERT) in Patients with HNSCC
CALMS: Combination Therapy with Luspatercept in Lower Risk MDS CTEP approval: 2024AUG27 (date of US Steering Committee Evaluation)
Selective Index Node Resection vs Lymph Node Dissection after Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for Stage IIIB-D Melanoma The Multicentre Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial-3 (MSLT-3)
Please join us in congratulating our friend and colleague, Timothy Whelan on his appointment to the Order of Canada. He is a world-class radiation oncologist and his research has redefined radiation therapy’s use in the treatment of breast cancer, improving survival rates and limiting side effects. He has mentored many trainees, solidifying the reputations of McMaster University and the Juravinski Cancer Centre as leaders in oncology clinical trial training.
The CCTG SR.8 (HARMONY) clinical trial has been awarded almost 1.5 million through the CIHR spring Project Grant Program. Hypofractionated Alternative Radiation with MOdulation of Neoadjuvant/perioperative immunotherapY in Sarcoma is a phase III study that addresses a significant unmet need in the treatment of high-risk soft-tissue sarcoma (STS).
The HE2 clinical trial is now open to enrollment and will investigate whether adding an oral anti-angiogenic drug to an existing intravenous immunotherapy combination is more effective than the immunotherapy combination alone for people with liver cancer who have not received prior treatment.
