Phase 1 patient with solid tumor

The study focuses on defining the problem of geographical accessibility of patients to the Phase 1 facility of the European Institute of Oncology, based on anonymized data extraction from the enrolled patient database, to evaluate national territorial disparities in access to innovative experimental therapies, in relation to various socioeconomic determinants. Finally, relevant information on psychological factors for participation in clinical trials will also be collected.

The primary endpoint is estimating the geographical distance from the enrolled patients' residences to the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), evaluating patients from the Lombardy region versus those from other regions with an assessment by geographical cluster: north, central, south, and islands, in order to define any preferential trajectories or recurring patterns.

The enrolled patients will be characterized based on psychological factors included in the study. These factors include: patient attitudes, perceived social norms, and perceived control over participation in clinical studies; doctor-patient relationship; study awareness; evaluation of their own decision to participate in the study
