New program aims to boost clinical trial awareness among minorities
NCT ID NCT05701085
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing an educational program designed to help racial and ethnic minority cancer patients make informed decisions about joining clinical trials. The program involves watching short videos and talking with a patient navigator. Researchers will measure changes in patients' knowledge and attitudes about clinical trials. The goal is to see if this approach helps address barriers that often keep minorities from participating in research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Educational intervention (videos and discussion with a patient navigator)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve how doctors support minority cancer patients in making informed choices about clinical trial participation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on knowledge and attitudes, not on treating cancer. It may not change actual trial enrollment rates or apply to all minority groups.
