First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two levels of patient navigation—high-intensity versus low-intensity—to see which helps more people with prostate or kidney cancer enroll in clinical trials. About 90 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either extra support from a patient navigator or standard materials. The goal is to find better ways to connect patients with potential new treatments.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that extra support helps more cancer patients join clinical trials, potentially improving access to new treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It tests a support program, not a treatment, so it won't directly cure or control cancer.
