ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Guaranteed Income and Financial Treatment," is looking to see if giving advanced cancer patients $1000 each month for a year can help them feel better and improve their overall situation. The study aims to find out if this extra money can lessen financial stress, enhance quality of life, and even affect survival rates for patients facing Stage 3 or 4 cancer while receiving treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.

To participate, you must be at least 18 years old, a resident of Pennsylvania, and currently receiving treatment for advanced cancer. If you join the trial, you will receive the monthly payments and complete surveys every three months to share how you’re doing. Some participants may also be asked to take part in interviews to discuss their financial experiences. This study is currently recruiting participants and is open to all genders.
