About the study

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the utility of patient navigation by comparing high intensity patient navigation to low intensity navigation approaches to improving cancer trial enrollment of patients treated in academic and community cancer centers. Patient navigation is a strategy for increasing patients access to cancer care by helping the participant overcome barriers in the participants communities and within the health care system by providing a bridge between the patient and the health care system. The primary objective of this study is to determine if a high intensity patient navigation program will improve patients enrollment on clinical trial in comparison to a low intensity patient navigation. Participants who agree to participate and are eligible will be randomly assigned to either the high intensity or low intensity approach.
