For nearly half of people diagnosed with lung cancer, immunotherapy can slow the disease but not stop it. Funded through a $4 million joint investment from the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the Weston Family Foundation, a new clinical trial aims to change that.

CO28: NEOadjuvant Chemotherapy, Excision and Observation for Early Rectal Cancer: The NEO Trial has been closed to accrual after successfully reaching the accrual goal.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of chemotherapy followed by less invasive surgery on patients and their early rectal cancer. The approach of this trial will be considered a success if at least 65% of participants are able to keep the rectum.
The CCTG Genitourinary Disease Site Committee is very honoured to welcome the new chair and modality sub-chairs.

The IND216 trial: Phase II Study of Buparlisib in Patients with Relapsed and Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, has been permanently closed.
About the trial: Buparlisib has been shown to shrink tumours in animals. It has been studied in some people and seems promising but it is not clear if it can offer better results than standard treatment. The standard or usual treatment for this disease is chemotherapy, targeted therapy or radiation, either alone or in combination.
