Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial investigates the challenges, behavioral patterns, and preferences towards participation in clinical trials in minority patient populations in order to develop a personalized clinical trial educational platform to increase participation in clinical trials among underserved cancer patients. Learning more about patients' understanding of clinical trials may help identify barriers that limit patient's participation. Information gathered from this trial will be used to develop educational materials that may aid minority patients in overcoming barriers to participating in clinical trials. A personalized clinical trial educational platform may help increase participation in clinical trials among minority populations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To understand and document patient preferences, understanding, and attitudes regarding clinical trials.

II. To compare patient attitudes regarding clinical trials among cancer patients belonging to different racial/ethnic groups.

III. To establish the magnitude of existing knowledge gap relating to clinical trials among underserved cancer patients and the extent of improvement with a personalized educational approach.

IV. To determine how a personalized educational approach impacts enrollment in clinical trials of underserved cancer patients.

OUTLINE:

PART I: Patients complete a questionnaire about their preferences, understanding, and attitudes regarding clinical trials. Patients also have their medical records reviewed.

PART II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients undergo clinical trial education via a video and educational booklet and then standard of care follow-up on study.

ARM B: Patients undergo clinical trial education via a video and educational booklet and then undergo patient navigation with active clinical trial matching and receive clinical trial information through the electronic medical record portal on study.
