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.

Reiman T, Savage KJ, Crump M, Cheung MC, MacDonald D, Buckstein R, Couban S, Piliotis E, Imrie K, Spaner D, Shivakumar S, Kuruvilla J, Villa D, Shepherd LE, Skamene T, Winch C, Chen BE, Hay AE. A phase I study of romidepsin, gemcitabine, dexamethasone and cisplatin combination therapy in the treatment of peripheral T-cell and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; the Canadian cancer trials group LY.15 study (ONLINE). Leuk Lymphoma 1-8, 2018.
Dr. Stephanie Lheureux discusses the CCTG OV.25 Ovarian Cancer Trial that explores the possibility of a prevention strategy for ovarian cancer. The OV.25 study targets woman who have the confirmed genetic mutation BRCA1 or BRCA2. Inflammation in the ovaries during ovulation is thought to contribute to the development of ovarian cancer and researchers want to understand if an anti-inflammatory intervention can help reduce the risk.
The CCTG SRC.6 (COG ARST1321) study is now closed to accrual.
Thanks to the hard work of many across the CCTG group and collaborative working processes with our pediatric colleagues the SRC.6 trial met its primary endpoint early. Addition of pazopanib to preoperative chemoradiation increased rates of complete pathological response for individuals with sarcoma. Additional follow up is planned to determine if this translates into improved event free and overall survival. A huge thank you to everybody who contributed to this success.
