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.

iRECIST training has been a recommended component of immuno-oncology (IO) protocol training documentation in the CCTG Site Training Utility (STU) since 2017. We have recently updated the iRECIST training slides in STU and as of Thursday July 18, 2019, documentation of iRECIST training is now mandatory for Qualified Investigators (QI) participating on new IO trials. In addition to new studies, some recently opened/actively accruing/planned studies will also require documentation of this training for the QI. These trials are: HN9, I227, I238 and I239 (planned).
CCTG would like to welcome our new Senior Investigator, Dr. James Taylor.
BRC7 trial has been centrally activated, this is a Randomized, Phase III Study of Firstline Immunotherapy alone or in Combination with Chemotherapy in Induction/Maintenance or Post Progression in Advanced Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with Immunobiomarker Signature-driven Analysis
Activation Date: July 10, 2019 NCT Registration ID: NCT03793179
CCTG’s Central Operations and Statistics Office is located in the Cancer Research Institute at Queen’s University, with in-house faculty researchers that include clinician scientists, researchers in community health and epidemiology, and biostatisticians. There are currently a number of key potions open on our team - Acting Manager, Office of Clinical Trials Management, Senior Investigator, Study Coordinator, Regulatory Affairs Team Leader, Regulatory Affairs Coordinator, Monitor/Auditor.
There is still time to register for the next CCTG New Investigator Clinical Trials Course (NICTC) being held August 7th to the 9th at the Donald Gordon Centre in Kingston, Ontario.
The NICTC is an important component of the group mandate to provide and facilitate investigator education and training. The major goal of the course is to familiarize new investigators from across the country with the essentials of clinical trial conduct in the Canadian research environment.
Earlier this year Dr. Yee Ung stepped down from his position as the co-chair of the CCTG Lung Disease Site committee. The group convened a selection committee to choose a radiation oncologist as the new co-chair, over several months the committee solicited applications and interviewed several candidates. The members of the selection committee were: Drs. Penny Bradbury, Matthew Parliament, Andrea Bezjak, Yee Ung, and Joe Pater.
