CT Conf logo

Over the course of the past several years CCC has endeavored and made considerable progress in fostering patient and patient group partnerships among stakeholders who have been advocating for their engagement in the clinical trial continuum with the goal of increasing patient access to cancer clinical trials in Canada.

The theme for our 6th Annual Patient-Centered Approach to Clinical Trials Conference is: Disruption and Innovation in Cancer Care. This seminal pan-cancer conference continues to inform clinical trial networks, researchers, industry, and academic trial sponsors, HTA agencies, Health Canada, and national and international cancer patient groups to mention a few.
