What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Summary

This study looks at whether having a trained peer navigator—someone who guides patients through the process—helps African American men with advanced prostate cancer better understand and complete genetic testing. Genetic testing is important for treatment decisions, but many patients find it confusing or mistrust the system. The study will compare men who get a peer navigator to those who don't, to see if it improves engagement and reduces decision-making difficulty.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jan 2025

Expected to finish

Sep 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Provide signed and dated informed consent form * English speaking only * Willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study * Any individual \>= 18 years old * African American men who meet National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) criteria for testing will be offered participation. These criteria include any one of the following: (1) metastatic prostate cancer (PCA); (2) intraductal or ductal pathology; (3) T3a or higher; (4) grade group 4 or Gleason 8 or higher; (5) family history of breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, colorectal, or uterine cancers in 3 or more blood relatives particularly if diagnosed at age \< 50. These criteria have been adapted from the NCCN Prostate Cancer (version 2.2021) and NCCN Breast, Ovarian, and Pancreatic (version 2.2021) guideline Exclusion Criteria: * Patients that do not meet the inclusion criteria and children under the age of 18 will be excluded * Anyone who has trouble understanding the consent or with significant anxiety detected during the consent process will also be excluded
