The CCTG Trialblazers will be participating in the Kingston Mudmoiselle on September 15th - running, swimming, and crawling through 5km of mud, dirt and grime in support of the the Canadian Cancer Society!
The money raised from this event helps fund leading-edge cancer research that is improving cancer treatments, preventing cancer and saving lives; provide reliable and up-to-date information on cancer, risk reduction and treatment; offer vital community-based support services for people living with cancer and their families; and advocate for healthy public policies.
The CCTG PA.7 trial: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine and Nab-Paclitaxel vs Gemcitabine, Nab-Paclitaxel, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab as 1st Line Therapy in Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma met its target accrual of 180 patients on 26-JUL-2018 and is now officially closed to accrual.
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.
