Mitigating Financial Toxicity for Participants in Clinical Trials
Tuesday, December 9 | 10:00–11:00 AM ET
Hosted by the MRCT Center, in collaboration with Equitable Access to Clinical Trials (EACT), a project convened by LUNGevity Foundation.
Clinical trials are vital to advancing medical knowledge and care, yet participation can impose significant financial burdens on participants and their families—from travel and time away from work to uncovered medical and ancillary expenses.
This webinar will examine the sources and impact of these costs and highlight emerging strategies to reduce financial hardship for research volunteers. Presenters will also introduce tools, checklists, and other resources developed through the EACT Project, a collaborative forum advancing financial neutrality in clinical research participation.
