Helping Canadian Cancer Patients Find Eligible Clinical Trials

“Thank you again, this makes me hopeful for the first time in a while.”

"It will save time because it's convenient.
It provides more information for potential patients to seek help on their own, also to.
And in a small sense, give them a little sense of control.”

"What made me excited and impressed initially was the amount of information and the genetic testing information that they wanted from us. And that they actually read and analyzed and looked through that was fantastic."

"It gives you the just that extra bit of excitement and hope."

"It's so like tailored to the individual, it makes them feel like somebody cares a little bit."

"There's new things coming out everyday and to miss them would be just a, you know, a horrible thing."

"You know that it's important to have somebody that knows what they're talking about, to get through the information."

"I'm so happy that it is available and that we found it and it was something we did, legitimate, that was exciting, yeah."

"You’re a little light in the darkness."

"So it's really important for people who are going through this kind of psychological and emotional whirlwind to know that this is available in Canada."

"While it provides some hope, you know it's ethical. Yeah, it's ethical. It's transparent and free. Trustworthy. Mostly what I'm looking for is just something where I can get a straight answer for, you know, a straight question."

"Good response times, friendly people, supportive, emotionally supportive, fantastic experience so far. It's just like freaking sunshine coming out. Absolutely."

"The biggest thing that it's done for me is giving me a sense of hope and direction, something that I can focus on rather than, you know, being scattered all over the universe trying to find out what else can we do?"

"​​I feel like there's a need for it and that it should be bigger part of the conversation… And having that navigator service was a huge help."

"​​When I mentioned that I had come across a few clinical trials and that I was in communication with the Navigator who was doing that, an even broader search. His mood shifted. I think it just provides hope for patients that otherwise feel like they're at the end of the road."

"​​There's so much exciting research happening in terms of immunotherapy and like, yeah,  targeted therapies for cancer and I think it's just really important service to have."

"​​I personally know a few people that have benefited from clinical trials in a huge way. And you know, were given under a year to live and now that its been 8 years, 9 years and they're still around."
