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.
MRD Driven Study of Venetoclax + Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed Younger Patients with Intermediate Risk AML
Novel Therapeutics in Younger Patients with High-Risk AML (MM1YA-S01)
MODERN: An Integrated Phase 2/3 and Phase 3 Trial of MRD-Based Optimization of ADjuvant ThErapy in URothelial CaNcer
CTDNA Response Adaptive Immuno-Chemotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
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.
Eradicating MRD in patients with AML prior to Stem Cell Transplant (ERASE)
Radiotherapy to Block (CURB2) Oligoprogression In Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
SLIDE-HCC: Phase II trial of STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) + lenvatinib vs STRIDE in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
CALMS: Combination Therapy with Luspatercept in Lower Risk MDS CTEP approval: 2024AUG27 (date of US Steering Committee Evaluation)
Lanreotide for the Prevention of Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula
Docetaxel and Hormone Treatment compared to Hormone Treatment alone in people with Metastatic Castration Sensitive Prostate Cancer and Less than Optimal PSA Response (TRIPLE-SWITCH)
The CCTG Central Offices will operate with limited coverage on Friday, June 30 and will be closed on Monday July 3, 2023 for the Canada Day statutory holiday. Regular hours will resume July 4 at 8:30 am (EDT).
Trial-specific DSMC Summary Reports are now posted on trial websites. Single-study centres participating on these trials should download these reports and submit them to their Research Ethics Boards if required by local policy. Trials currently under CCTG's DSMC oversight include:
A simple hysterectomy with pelvic node dissection is a safe treatment option for women with low-risk early-stage cervical cancer and may help improve quality of life, according to results from the CX5/SHAPE study, an international phase III clinical trial led by the Canadian Cancer Trials Group in collaboration with The Gynecological Cancer InterGroup (GCIG)
Late-breaking results for the IND.227 trial were presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. The Phase III international study evaluated the use of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab combined with platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with unresectable advanced or metastatic pleural mesothelioma.
A Phase III Randomized Study of Nivolumab (Opdivo) or Brentuximab Vedotin (Adcetris) plus AVD in Patients (age >/= 12 Years) with Newly Diagnosed Advanced Stage Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
MAC14 (ECOG-ACRIN E2108) A Randomized Phase III Trial of the Value of Early Local Therapy for the Intact Primary Tumor in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer has been permanently closed.
Rational: The primary tumor might be a source of re-seeding of distant sites and therefore elimination of this source of metastasizing cells by early local therapy may be of benefit.
