For nearly half of people diagnosed with lung cancer, immunotherapy can slow the disease but not stop it. Funded through a $4 million joint investment from the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Weston Family Foundation, a new clinical trial aims to change that.

The IND216 trial: Phase II Study of Buparlisib in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, has been permanently closed.
About the trial: Buparlisib has been shown to shrink tumours in animals. It has been studied in some people and seems promising but it is not clear if it can offer better results than standard treatment. The standard or usual treatment for this disease is chemotherapy, targeted therapy or radiation, either alone or in combination.
CCTG has developed guidance documents to facilitate continuing patients on trials or how to modify (and document) protocol requirements for individual patient management as needed.
Please note that an updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document has been posted to the CCTG COVID-19 members webpage. Also new are posted links to the previously communicated important memos dated 2020MAR17, 2020MAR27 and 2020APR06.
A guest editorial first published in the "Cancer Letter"
While the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) groups remain open for business during the pandemic, it’s not business as usual. For good reason, clinical trials are taking a backseat to clinical care. Leadership and members themselves face significant challenges treating oncology patients, as attention and resources are diverted to minister to those with COVID-19.
CCTG has been made aware of an opportunity that may be of interest to our member centres during this COVID-19 pandemic. Jonathan Loree and colleagues at BC Cancer have developed a protocol to help Canadian centres track outcomes among patients with cancer who develop COVID-19.

CRC9 (NCT04068103), Phase II/III study of Circulating tumor DNA as a predictive BiomaRker in Adjuvant chemotherapy in stage IIA colon cancer (COBRA), has been centrally activated.
This past week the central office has continued to support CCTG network activities including addressing impacts of COVID-19.
CCTG regulatory/ethics compliance and trial teams rolled out COVID-19 addenda for all trials. These addenda have been added to all CCTG trial pages to support sites and trial teams in our network. We are also incorporating an EDC form for the collection of COVID-19 information for designated trials.
