The CCTG Annual Spring Meeting of Participants is almost here, if you are planning meetings and/or attending the Spring Meeting here is some information you should know!
Applicants who have had their research accepted for oral or poster presentation at an international scientific meeting and have not received another award to support their travel are eligible to apply.
Spring application deadline is March 27, 2020
CCTG has been awarded $1,303,560 from the Fall 2019 CIHR Project Grant competition, a program that helps advance health-related research. The funds will support the Canadian contribution to the ME15 international trial, investigating use of smaller surgical margins to reduce the extent of surgery in Stage 2 melanoma patient - Larger margins result in disfigurement, wound discomfort, and time away from work and, if positive, will change practice in Canada and around the world.
CCTG Patient Representative Bob Taylor discusses the importance of having somebody, that's not the clinical researcher, representing what patients care about and considering the interests of the patients and their family in clinical trial design.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group is seeking nominations for the 2020 Recognition Awards honouring individuals who have contributed significantly to the mission and activities of the Canadian Cancer Trials Group.
The Canadian Cancer Trials Group is actively seeking CRA representatives from Canadian Member sites to sit on the Genitourinary Disease Site Committee Executives as well as Supportive Care Committee.
As 2020 begins, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the hard work and accomplishments of our network of researchers and collaborators, both nationally and internationally, over the past year.
This year we supported 67 ongoing trials while working with our scientific network to activate 15 new trials of which 10 are being led by CCTG. This includes the IND234 trial that opened three new treatment arms this year—IND234 is the first trial to evaluate a precision medicine approach for patients with advanced prostate cancer using liquid biopsies for genomic testing.
