Summary

This study looks at whether offering money for things like travel, lodging, and childcare helps more people from different backgrounds join cancer clinical trials. Researchers will track enrollment and retention of 1,200 patients who are already in a cancer trial. They will compare those who use the financial program to those who don't, and identify what helps or hinders participation.
