Patients Stories

The BLC6 urothelial bladder cancer clinical trial is now open nationally

The BLC6 urothelial bladder cancer clinical trial is now open nationally

The new BLC6 MODERN phase II/III clinical trial will investigate the role of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood to see if it is an effective guide for what type of immunotherapy is most effective. Researchers want to understand whether a blood test can more effectively determine who should get immunotherapy after surgery for bladder cancer and which immunotherapy treatment is best. “Although immunotherapy improves outcomes in this stage of bladder cancer, only about 15% of patients benefit from it.  If successful, this study will help us identify – through a blood test – those patients who need more therapy and those who can safely avoid unneeded treatment,” says Dr. Bernhard Eigl, CCTG BLC6 trial chair and medical oncologist with BC Cancer. The blood test can detect bladder cancer ctDNA in the blood including the presence of bladder cancer cells even if cancer can’t be seen on a scan. This test is believed to be able to determine which patients are at higher risk for disease progression or relapse

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
