Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL): Beta Testing

Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL): Beta Testing

This study aims to test the Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL) web-based application that is designed to support participants with acute leukemia by providing information and resources about leukemia and clinical trial participation.

The goal of this single-arm pilot study is to test the TRIAL web application which is designed to reduce inequity in clinical trial enrollment among participants with acute leukemia. The application aims to facilitate access to clinical trials and reduce barriers for underrepresented groups.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and questionnaires.

Participation in this research study is expected to last about 14 weeks.

It is expected about 75 people will participate in this study.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) are providing funding for this study.
