Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Invests Nearly $5 Million to Enhance Clinical Trial Access and Participation
Rye Brook, NY – July 9, 2025 – The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is making a significant commitment to advancing cancer research and patient care with an investment of nearly $5 million dedicated to increasing access to and participation in clinical trials. This substantial funding underscores LLS’s unwavering dedication to accelerating breakthroughs in the fight against blood cancers.
The newly announced initiative focuses on addressing critical barriers that patients often encounter when seeking to enroll in life-saving clinical trials. By investing in research specifically designed to improve trial accessibility and participation, LLS aims to ensure that more patients have the opportunity to benefit from cutting-edge therapies and contribute to the development of future treatments.
Clinical trials represent a crucial pathway for discovering and validating new and more effective treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and other blood cancers.

This significant funding will support a range of research projects and programs that are expected to:
- Expand geographic reach: Initiatives aimed at making clinical trials available in more diverse locations, including underserved communities, will be a key priority.
- Improve patient education and awareness: Developing better resources and outreach programs to inform patients and their caregivers about available clinical trials and their potential benefits.
- Streamline trial enrollment processes: Research focused on simplifying application procedures, clarifying eligibility requirements, and providing more personalized support to potential participants.
- Leverage technology: Exploring innovative technological solutions, such as telemedicine and digital platforms, to facilitate trial participation remotely and reduce the burden on patients.
- Address health equity: Concentrating efforts on ensuring that all patient populations, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location, have equitable access to clinical trial opportunities.
“At LLS, our mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and all blood cancers, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families,” stated a representative from LLS. “Clinical trials are the bedrock of progress in this field.
