Summary

This pilot study tested a program called GUIDE, which uses a trained navigator to help cancer patients overcome social and financial barriers to joining clinical trials. The study included 100 adults with cancer who were eligible for a trial and had at least one health-related social need. The goal was to see if the program is acceptable and feasible, with the hope of increasing diversity in cancer research.
