The current CTEP website at ctep.cancer.gov was retired on July 9, 2025, and all the site information was relocated to new URLs.
Please be aware that Cohort F on IND.243: A Phase II Study of RP-6306 in Patients with Advanced Cancer has closed to accrual. As Cohort F was the last opened cohort, the IND.243 main study will also be closed. Please see the closure notice for additional details.
The SKC1 skin cancer clinical trial is now open to enrollment across Canada. This study aims to determine whether adding an immunotherapy drug prior to the standard surgical treatment for advanced skin cancer can improve patient outcomes. This study addresses a substantial unmet need in this patient population.
The MA33 (TROG 0701): A Randomised Phase III Study Of Radiation Doses And Fractionation Schedules For Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) Of The Breast, has permanently closed.
The recently opened BR38 clinical trial is exploring whether adding stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the current treatment of immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can improve outcomes for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and limited disease progression (oligoprogression).
