Partnerships: Industry & Academic

Engaging Industry and Academic Partners

CCTG is know for cancer clinical trial research and is the world's largest cooperative collaborative oncology group. Our success is realized through our network of investigators who develop scientifically important and meaningful trials, conducted both rapidly and to rigorous standards. With over 40 years of experience there is no network that rivals the depth and breadth of operations with a global reputation for rapid execution of quality clinical trials.

Partnerships

National and international collaboration

Industry partnerships

While CCTG trials are independently conducted, analyzed and reported. Pharmaceutical or academic drug manufacturers provide CCTG access to their investigational new drugs because they recognize the high quality research being conducted through the group.

 

Dr Nappi on stage at ASCO 2026 presenting interim results for CCTG trial

A simple blood test may detect tumor relapse in patients with early-stage germ cell tumors

The interim results of the GCC.1 (S1823) study were presented at ASCO 2026 during the Genitourinary Cancer Session. The study focuses on patients with early-stage germ cell tumors and the blood biomarker microribonucleic acid (miRNA) 371a-3p (called miR371). The presence of miR371 may allow clinicians to identify patients at higher risk of relapse earlier and more accurately than current monitoring approaches.
