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:
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group is actively seeking CRA representatives from Canadian Member sites to sit on Disease Site Committee Executives as well as the CCTG CRA Executive Committee.
With funding provided through the Precision Oncology Patient Innovation Award from Bayer, the Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials Network (3CTN) will create the Precision Oncology Map, a uniquely comprehensive, visual representation of all cancer clinical trials active in Canada that have a focus on precision medicine. The goal is to go beyond existing trial registry data to make it easier for cancer patients, their caregivers and the research community to locate suitable clinical trials, particularly precision medicine trials involving specific biomarkers and targeted therapies.
Cancer is not a single disease; it is hundreds. Cancers of the lung, breast, prostate, and colon are the most common forms of the disease, and account for about half of all diagnoses. But less common forms of cancer also account for about half of diagnoses, and these are not as well studied. Some of them are extremely rare, with only a few people diagnosed each year.
