New study tests if educational videos boost cancer care for Spanish-Speaking patients
NCT ID NCT05351424
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether educational videos and brochures can help Spanish-speaking Latinx patients with breast or prostate cancer better understand their radiation therapy and clinical trials. About 194 participants will watch videos or read brochures, then answer questions to see if their knowledge and treatment adherence improve. The goal is to make cancer care more accessible and inclusive for non-English speakers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- educational videos and brochures
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple educational tools help Spanish-speaking patients better understand their cancer treatment and feel more comfortable joining clinical trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on education, not a treatment. It may not lead to changes in patient outcomes or trial enrollment in larger, more diverse groups.
