Findings of an Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) and Equitable Access to Clinical Trials (EACT) Study

To assess the current knowledge base and experience with financial support programs across trial sites, EACT partnered with the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) to develop and perform a survey of cancer centers on their current practices, barriers, and needed resources for realizing financial support for trial participants. Learnings from these findings can support the need for continued education and awareness across trial sites, as well as the further development of site-specific resources to support trial site personnel in ensuring that trial participants can access financial support.

Objectives

• Describe sites’ knowledge and experience with accessing and providing financial support programs for clinical trial participants

• Understand familiarity of sites with EACT and its resources

• Gain insights into additional resources that would be valuable for sites to encourage financial support for trial participants
