What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a program called TRACT that helps cancer patients with travel to their radiation therapy appointments. Many patients miss or delay treatment due to transportation issues. The program provides navigation support and resources. Researchers will see if it is practical and helpful for patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Transportation for Cancer Care Navigation Tool (TRACT) program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could help cancer patients get to their radiation appointments more easily, potentially improving treatment completion and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not reduce travel barriers or improve outcomes as hoped.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 76 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Nov 2024

Expected to finish

May 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years * Diagnosed with solid tumors * Undergoing RT (not excluded with chemotherapy) * Competent to give consent * English-speaking * With travel barriers as screened by the reliable and validated 10-item Transportation Barriers Measure. In this study, item 2 ("how much trouble is it for you to get transportation to your doctor or treatment?") from the general barriers domain will be used to screen patients for travel barriers Exclusion Criteria: * Receive palliative care * Are non-English-speaking (excluded due to pilot data without fund to support translation services) * Are enrolled in lodging programs (e.g., the American Cancer Society \[ACS\] Hope Lodge®) * Have major depression/anxiety disorders that interfere with their ability to participate (based on the electronic medical records report)
