New program aims to bridge support gap for black and latina women with advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT06405828
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a program called ACCESS, where a community navigator helps Black and Latina women with metastatic breast cancer connect to supportive care and community resources. Participants receive six coaching sessions and monthly check-ins over 16 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable, and whether it reduces distress and symptom burden.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Community navigator-led supportive care program (coaching sessions, monthly check-ins, resource linkage)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a navigator-based program improves access to supportive services and reduces distress for underserved women with advanced breast cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (67 participants) focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not prove the program improves health outcomes, and results may not apply to other groups.
