A Canadian Cancer Trials Group update regarding the Protection of Human Research Participant Training
In September 2018, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) released that the current free Protecting Human Research Participant (PHRP) training course would no longer be offered and neither would an alternative. In alignment with the NIH, CCTG confirmed that the CITI Human Subjects Research Course is an acceptable option for Human Subjects Protection training as well as training courses developed and administered at the institutional level.
The IND234 clinical trial, conducted by the Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG), uses liquid biopsy technology to screen for genomic markers in prostate cancer patients.
After the liquid biopsy analysis, patients with specific DNA markers are assigned to one of five new therapies targeted at their unique form of prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if the markers identified in the screening process can help predict which patients will be helped the most by the targeted treatments.
Citations for two previously published CCTG trials are now available online.
The New England Journal of Medicine Notable Articles of 2018 recognizes the significance of the TAYLORx | CCTG MAC12 study, in addition, the Journal of Clinical Oncology has also named TAILORx as one of the most important clinical research advances of 2018.
CCTG is pleased to announce that the CRC7 has met its accrual goal of 1180 patients and has been closed to accrual.

Effective April 15, 2019, participants at our member sites will be required to attest to completion of this one-time training requirement prior to becoming active on a trial Participants List.
Ibrutinib, the first in class Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor is the first targeted therapy approved in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and quickly became the standard of care treatment for relapsed and refractory CLL based on its demonstrated efficacy and safety. Prior to this trial Ibrutinib had not been compared against a standard of care chemo-immunotherapy.
