Clinical Trial Summary
Health inequities are defined as systemic differences in the health status of different
population groups. It is well established that there are many sources of health inequity in
oncology including differences in mortality, cancer screening uptake, time to diagnosis and
disparities in access to treatment and care.
Routine cancer screening and effective surveillance and follow up are some of the most
effective ways to reduce the burden of cancer across an individual's lifetime and at the
population level. While there is a lack of screening tests for many cancers, breast cancer,
the second highest leading cause of cancer death in women, has a plethora of validated
screening and risk reduction approaches which can yield earlier detection and effective ways
of treating and following women at risk and with breast cancer and improve outcomes.
However, there is uneven adoption and inconsistent use of these technologies and care
practices.
The RISC Registry is an observational study that seeks to understand the application of
risk-informed screening and care approaches and pursue the hypothesis that these screening
approaches accompanied by population appropriate methods of clinician and patient engagement
may increase understanding and compliance with screening, surveillance and follow up
recommendations by empowering people to make healthier choices, and support addressing
disparities in screening and patient care.
The primary focus is cancer screening with a focus on Precision Screening. (Precision
Screening attempts to separate those who will benefit from screening from those that may not,
through use of information on disease risk.) The study will start by focusing on women and
breast cancer risk.
Description:
The RISC Registry (the "Registry" ) is a longitudinal observational database designed to
capture health information to help develop individualized disease risk and care plans in
varied patient populations and study how that information impacts physician recommendations
and patient compliance.
The Registry was designed by a board of Scientific Advisors who are active users of risk
assessment tools, and risk-informed screening protocols, including physicians, nurses, and
patient advocates. Technology professionals and site administrators were also consulted
regarding optimizing the process of data collection and dissemination. The Registry uses
widely accepted standards for risk and disease classifications, results, management, and
validated quality-of-life measures.
The Registry is vendor-agnostic and product-agnostic. This study will make a special effort
to reach women who have historically been underserved by recruiting patients broadly
distributed across different socioeconomic groups, ethnicities and diverse geographic areas.
The RISC Registry will help determine the ongoing value of Precision Screening in different
clinical patient populations, shape guidelines for screening and optimal patient management,
and support improvements in Precision Health and Precision Medicine support technology.
Eligible subjects will be offered personalized risk assessments and care plans at no charge
to reduce cost as a barrier to screening.
