What is a clinical trial?

Clinical trials are carefully designed research studies that evaluate new approaches to cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care. They may be available at different stages of cancer care—not only after other treatments have been tried.

​

A trial is not a guarantee of benefit. Eligibility, possible risks, travel requirements, and insurance coverage should be discussed with your oncology team.

Your next steps...

1

Start with your oncologist

Ask which studies may fit your cancer type, stage, prior treatments, and goals.

2

Speak with a trial coordinator 

Confirm eligibility, study location, appointment frequency, and expected costs.

3

Plan for life outside the clinic

Ask about travel, lodging, meals, time away from work, caregiving, and available financial support.

Questions worth asking...

What is the goal of this trial?

Which costs are covered?

How often will I need to travel?

What happens if I choose to not participate?

What are the potential benefits and risks?

Care extends beyond medical bills. Our mission is to help patients and families facing the non-medical financial burdens associated with accessing clinical trial treatment—because the opportunity to pursue care should not be defined by everyday expenses.
