Next year is almost here and in 2020 CCTG will be marking our 40th anniversary! We would like to recognize this milestone and the hard work of our clinical trials network across Canada at an anniversary celebration during the 2020 CCTG Spring Meeting.
Event details to follow in the New Year - make sure to save the date and celebrate 40 years of clinical trial excellence.
A Genetic, Risk-Stratified Randomized Phase II Study of Four Fludarabine/Antibody Combinations For Patients with Symptomatic Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. This randomized phase II trial studies how well fludarabine (fludarabine phosphate) and rituximab with or without lenalidomide or cyclophosphamide work in treating patients with symptomatic chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
The CX5 trial A Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Radical Hysterectomy and Pelvic Node Dissection vs Simple Hysterectomy and Pelvic Node Dissection in Patients with Low-Risk Early Stage Cervical Cancer (SHAPE) has met its accrual goal and is now closed to further randomizations.
The MEC4 (Alliance A091201) trial, a Randomized Phase II Study Comparing the MET Inhibitor Cabozantinib to Temozolomide/Dacarbazine in Ocular Melanoma has permanently closed.
CCTG LY18, A Phase I Master Protocol of Novel Combination Therapy for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma, has been centrally activated.
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of a new drug, in combination with standard drugs, which can be tolerated without causing very severe side effects. The study treatment is new agents in combination with R-GDP or an equivalent regimen.
We are coming up to a big holiday for American families. Please expect closure of U.S. Operations offices and laboratories on Thursday, November 28nd for the U.S. Thanksgiving. If you are planning to ship specimens to the U.S., please plan accordingly. Also remember that many of our U.S. collegues take additional holidays for an extra long weekend.
Happy Thanksgiviing to our U.S friends!

CCTG LY17 is a A Multi-stage Randomized Phase II Study of Novel Combination Therapy in the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Aggressive B-Cell Lymphoma. The trial is looking to determine the overall response rate (complete and partial response) to novel combination therapy in patients with relapsed and refractory aggressive B cell lymphoma. Dr. Kuruvilla and Dr. Crump stress the importance of this trial, collaboration within CCTG, and the overall benefit of cancer clinical trials. (NCT02436707)
