What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the TRIAL web-based application designed to support individuals diagnosed with acute leukemia. The application seeks to reduce barriers to clinical trial enrollment, particularly for underrepresented groups, by providing essential information and resources. Participants will undergo screening for eligibility and complete questionnaires over a participation period of approximately 14 weeks. The study is expected to enroll around 75 participants and is funded by the National Cancer Institute and the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this application could improve access to clinical trials for patients with acute leukemia, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative in its focus on reducing inequity in clinical trial enrollment, similar studies have shown promise in improving access to clinical trials for underserved populations.
