Peer navigators aim to boost cancer trial enrollment for hispanic kids
NCT ID NCT06055296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program called COMPRENDO, which uses trained peer navigators, can help more Hispanic children with cancer enroll in clinical trials. The navigators provide education and support to parents in English or Spanish. The study will compare enrollment rates and understanding of informed consent between families who receive this support and those who get usual care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that peer navigators help more Hispanic children with cancer enroll in clinical trials, leading to better treatments for this group.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early implementation study, not testing a new drug. The intervention may not significantly increase enrollment, and results may not apply to other settings or populations.
