Efforts to Increase Representation in Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital

May 13, 2026 updated by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
The main rationale underlying this study is that prostate cancer clinical trials are lacking representation from racial and ethnic minority groups. Study proposal aims to target barriers at the participant, investigator, and health system level through specific interventions to increase the percentage of participants from these backgrounds on cancer clinical trials.

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives:

The study objective is to increase the number of participants on prostate cancer clinical trials at LBJ. We will complete several objectives:

  • To design a culturally tailored video highlighting participant narratives and determine its impact on participants' decision-making pertaining to joining a clinical trial
  • To conduct educational sessions with frontline oncology providers
  • To coordinate participant care through utilization of a nurse navigator
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of this multi-pronged intervention to increase enrollment onto two prostate cancer clinical trials and compare enrollment and one-year retention rates before and after the intervention

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Video Intervention to Prostate Cancer Patient
The interventions will be conducted at Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Hospital, a safety net facility that cares for a majority Latino and/or Black patient population.
Other: Video
Participants will watch a short video in clinic. Participants will complete the two validated scales before and after viewing the video.
Experimental: To Conduct Educational Sessions with Frontline Oncology Providers
The investigator will conduct multiple one-hour educational sessions focused on participant-centered communication and cultural competency with the 42 oncology fellows during their academic half-days. Fellows attending the educational sessions will be invited to complete a Likert-style course evaluation form and provide open-ended feedback."
Other: Video
Participants will watch a short video in clinic. Participants will complete the two validated scales before and after viewing the video.
