About
The main provisions of this bill are: 1) enabling more routine financial support from trial sponsors for patient non-medical costs associated with clinical trial participation, 2) clarifying sponsors can provide technology for patients to participate remotely in clinical trials, and 3) requiring HHS to develop guidance on ways decentralized clinical trials can be employed to increase trial diversity. Taken together, these provisions can open the door for more patients to participate in clinical trials, but who currently face financial or logistical barriers to doing so. Here's a fact sheet about the legislation prepared by American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
