Eradicating MRD in Patients with AML prior to Stem Cell Transplant (ERASE)
VIGOR: Vorasidenib as Maintenance Treatment after First-line Chemoradiotherapy in IDH-mutant Grade 2 or 3 Astrocytoma
CO33: Botensilimab + Balstilimab vs Best Supportive Care as Therapy in Chemo-refractory, Advanced, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma: The BATTMAN Trial

The CCTG IND.225 trial: A Phase II Study of the Assessment of Response to Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Melanoma: CT Texture Analysis as a Predictive Biomarker has been permanently closed/terminated.
CCTG SC.24, A Randomized Phase II/III Study Comparing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) versus Conventional Palliative Radiotherapy (CRT) for Patients with Spinal Metastases, has been closed to accrual after the completion of target accrual. Although the trial is closed accrual, treatment and follow up of patients will continue according to the protocol.
The purpose of this study is to find out if SBRT is better than CRT at controlling pain in the spine 3 months after receiving treatment.
Sites may record protocol training in the centre admin menu of the CCTG Site Training Utility (STU). CCTG has offered protocol-specific training for sites since 2012. To continue to be GCP compliant, protocol training has been required for all participants with delegated duties on the trial participants list for all new trials centrally activated after July 1, 2018. This requirement is stated in the Central Activation Letter and Notice of Health Canada Submission
