Purpose: In this nationwide registry study, we investigated socioeconomic and structural patterns in referral to phase I cancer trials in a case-control study design.
Methods: Personal identification numbers on all Danish patients referred to the Danish Phase I Unit at Rigshospitalet from 2005 to 2016, and a control group matched on age, sex, type of cancer, year of diagnosis, and time from diagnosis to referral ensured individual-level linkage between several registries. We examined the association between nonclinical factors-indicators of socioeconomic position and distance to the Phase I Unit-and referral using a conditional logistic regression analysis adjusted for several clinical factors.
Objective: To review what is known about cancer patients' decisions to enter a phase 1 trial and how they and their relatives perceive the information they receive when they are invited to participate.
Methods: This systematic review is based on the principles of "preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses." A systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Embase, and PsycInfo databases, supplemented by a search for unpublished literature.
