New ALTG Study ILLUMINATE

Feasibility is open for the ILLUMINATE Study (ALTG 16/009) which is a phase 2 trial of durvalumab and tremelimumab with chemotherapy in metastatic EGFR mutant non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs). The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of a new treatment strategy that combines immunotherapy together with chemotherapy for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

ALTG awarded $12 million in funding

The ALTG is pleased to announce over $12 million in funding has been successfully awarded to ALTG, NHMRC Clinical Trial Centre and the Australian Genomic Cancer Medicine Centre for the ASPiRATION project. In this ground-breaking precision medicine study, led by ALTG President A/Prof Nick Pavlakis and ALTG Scientific Advisory Committee Chair, Prof Ben Solomon, ASPiRATION will explore the benefit of routine comprehensive genomic profiling in 1000 newly-diagnosed metastatic, non-squamous, NSCLC patients in Australia. The enhanced genomic profiling will assist in personalising patient care by matching patients to targeted treatments as early as possible to improve patient outcomes.
