First seen Aug 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a culturally grounded supportive care navigation program can reduce emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and urgent care use among Hispanic/Latinx patients receiving cancer treatment. Participants are randomly assigned to either usual care or the intervention, which includes routine distress screening, risk prediction, and community follow-up. The study also gathers feedback from patients, providers, and community partners on how to address healthcare disparities. The goal is to see if this approach improves quality of life and reduces avoidable hospital visits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient-reported outcomes (PRO)-driven culturally grounded supportive care navigation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could reduce emergency visits and hospitalizations, and improve quality of life for Hispanic/Latinx cancer patients, helping to close healthcare disparities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on patient engagement and technology, which may not work for everyone.
