NCT ID NCT06326567

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

Summary

This study tests a program called Comprehensive Connected Cancer Care (C4) for people newly diagnosed with cancer who also have social needs (like trouble paying for medicine or getting to appointments). The program uses patient navigators, a digital needs assessment, and better communication training for healthcare teams to connect patients with support services. Researchers will measure whether the program improves quality of life and survival over one year.
