Clinical Trial
Access

Clinical trials have the power to
save lives — but only if patients
can access them.

Originally launched in partnership with More Moments More Memories.

Increasing Access to
Life-Saving Cancer Care

Launched in 2023 in partnership with More Moments More Memories, our Clinical Trial Access
connects patients enrolled in clinical trials to our free Financial Resource Center. This critical
support helps patients and their families afford basic needs like housing, transportation food,
and utilities, eliminating financial barriers to life-saving clinical trials.

Barriers to Clinical Trials

Thousands of cancer patients turn down or stop participating in clinical trials due to high out-of-pocket costs.
$600

more in monthly travel + lodging costs compared to patients who are not on clinical trials1

80%

of clinical trials are delayed or closed because of recruitment challenges2

<30%

less likely to enroll
if household income is
below $50,0003

Who We’re Reaching

In addition to a dedicated Clinical Trial Access, we reach patients on clinical
trials through our nationwide network of treatment centers and community-based
nonprofit organizations.

How it Works

Access

Anyone can visit Family Reach’s Financial Resource Center
to access support and oncology social workers apply for grants
on behalf of patients
(application time: < 15 min)

Deliver

Patients can download financial tip sheets, search 24/7 for resources by zip code, and have expenses paid by check or sent directly to vendors like landlords and utility companies

Analyze

Patient focus groups and surveys identify barriers to clinical trials and improve program delivery

“I would not be able to do a clinical trial without this support,” shared Arleth, who received housing and transportation support from Family Reach during her clinical trial for lymphoma.
99%

of patients on a clinical trial felt less financial distress after accessing the Financial Resource Center
