People with serious mental illness or dementia are routinely excluded from cancer trials by vague compliance clauses, though they get cancer just as often and do worse. Replacing those clauses with assessable criteria, and funding supported consent and accommodations such as longer visits, would let them take part.
Protocols replace 'psychiatric illness that would interfere with compliance' and similar clauses with specific, assessable criteria; supported decision-making, legally authorised representative consent where appropriate, and accommodations (longer visits, carer involvement, simplified materials) are funded. Enrolment and outcomes for these groups are reported.
