Glioblastoma Multiforme Patients in Clinical Trials: An Examination of Their Clinical Trial Experiences
Overview
Clinical research can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical study, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in glioblastoma multiforme clinical study, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. Insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with glioblastoma multiforme who may be invited to participate in clinical trial in the years to come.
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of patients who decide to enroll in a glioblastoma multiforme clinical study. [Time frame: 3 months]
- Number of glioblastoma multiforme study participants who remain in clinical trial until completion. [Time frame: 12 months]
