Clinical Trials

The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) supports national and international multicentre phase I-III cancer clinical research trials aimed at improving the survival and quality of life of cancer patients across all cancer types. The scientific agenda for the group is developed by clinical researchers across Canada and beyond, includes trials of new cancer agents, novel radiation and surgical techniques, as well as interventions to improve patient quality of life.

If you are a CCTG member and need to access the full trials pages please click here.

The links below will take you to pages that list all the current CCTG trials with a brief description. If you are interested in volunteering for a trial we suggest that you discuss the opportunity with your care team.

If you are a patient or caregiver and are looking for other information about clinical trials a complete listing of clinical trials being conducted in Canada, including the locations where they are being conducted, can be found here: Canadian Cancer Trials.  And if you are interested in learning about participating in a clinical trial more information can be found here: www.itstartswithme.ca

HN13 clinical trial opens in Canada investigating precision radiation therapy

HN13 clinical trial opens in Canada investigating precision radiation therapy for head and neck cancer

The HN13 clinical trial has recently opened in Canada and will explore a new radiotherapy technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat patients with advanced head and neck cancer. Researchers want to know if SBRT offers better cancer and symptom control than the standard radiotherapy (RT).

The new MAC30 trial compares two treatments for early-stage breast cancer in premenopausal women

The new MAC30 trial compares two treatments for early-stage breast cancer in premenopausal women

MAC30 has recently opened in Canada and will compare two commonly used treatment choices for premenopausal women with ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer and a low to intermediate risk of recurrence. Researchers are testing the addition of chemotherapy to ovarian function suppression plus hormonal therapy versus ovarian function suppression plus hormonal therapy alone. Both these approaches are used across North America, and it is not clear as to whether chemotherapy is needed in this population
