NCT ID NCT07568457
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether offering free rideshares, hotel stays, and meal delivery helps low-income liver cancer patients start treatment sooner. About 75 uninsured or underinsured adults with liver cancer will be randomly assigned to receive these social supports plus usual patient navigation, or just navigation alone. The goal is to see if removing practical barriers reduces treatment delays.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Social support program (rideshares, hotel stays, meal delivery) plus patient navigation
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that practical support helps low-income liver cancer patients start treatment sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial with only 75 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The support may not significantly change treatment timing.
