Peer helpers may boost genetic testing in black men with prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT05487846

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether having a trained peer navigator—someone who guides patients through the process—helps African American men with advanced prostate cancer better understand and complete genetic testing. Genetic testing is important for treatment decisions, but many patients find it confusing or mistrust the system. The study will compare men who get a peer navigator to those who don't, to see if it improves engagement and reduces decision-making difficulty.
