NCT ID NCT06252545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is developing and testing a mobile app designed to help Black people with pancreatic cancer learn about and discuss clinical trials with their doctors. The goal is to increase their participation in these trials, which is currently much lower than for White patients. Researchers will interview participants to understand their needs and then build the app based on that feedback.
