AI Summary
This bill aims to improve patient access to cancer clinical trial programs. It defines "inducement" as paying people to participate in clinical trials and clarifies that reimbursing patients for travel and ancillary costs is not considered inducement. The bill requires sponsors of cancer clinical trials to inform potential enrollees about the availability of reimbursement for travel and ancillary costs based on financial need, in order to remove barriers to participation and promote diverse enrollment. It also allows government, industry, and other entities to provide financial support for these reimbursement programs through nonprofit organizations.
