NCT ID NCT06314672
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called CUSP2CT, designed to increase the number of racial and ethnic minorities referred to and enrolled in cancer clinical trials. The program involves educational sessions, discussions, and patient navigation. Researchers will track changes in referral and enrollment rates over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could help more people from underrepresented groups join cancer clinical trials, making research results more widely applicable.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage program testing whether the approach works. It may not lead to lasting changes in enrollment or be adopted by other clinics.
