{"title":"American Cancer Society ACS ACTS","summary":"Access to Clinical Trials & Support: the American Cancer Society program that pairs personalized trial matching (through Massive Bio) with an ACS cancer information specialist and help with lodging, rides and other needs.","body":"ACS ACTS, short for Access to Clinical Trials & Support, is an American Cancer Society program for finding a clinical trial with support around it. ACS says it works with Massive Bio for AI-driven trial matching, and pairs that with its own staff and programs.\n\n## What they offer\n\n- Personalized clinical trial matching, provided through Massive Bio.\n- A conversation with an American Cancer Society cancer information specialist.\n- Plain-language education about how trials work.\n- Connections to other ACS programs, such as lodging near treatment and rides to appointments.\n\n## How to join and what it costs\n\nFill out the sign-up form on the ACS ACTS page or call the ACS 24/7 cancer helpline. Patients, caregivers and health care team members can sign up; if someone else submits the form, ACS contacts the patient directly. It's open to residents of the United States and U.S. territories. The ACS page does not list a fee (checked October 23, 2026).\n\n## How it fits with other services here\n\nMassive Bio runs the matching behind ACS ACTS. If you want the ACS support programs too, ACS ACTS is the way in. My [clinical trials guide](/resources/clinical-trials/) explains how to judge a match.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n- Which of my biomarkers and treatments will the match consider?\n- Can a specialist help me contact a trial site?\n- Which ACS lodging or ride programs could help if a trial is far away?\n\n## Contacts\n\n- ACS ACTS sign-up: [cancer.org ACS ACTS](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/making-treatment-decisions/clinical-trials/acs-acts.html)\n- 24/7 cancer helpline: 1-800-227-2345","topics":["clinical-trials","getting-started"],"capabilities":["clinical-trials","patient-support"],"organizationType":"nonprofit","services":["trial-navigation","patient-education"],"communityFocus":["People with cancer looking for clinical trials","Caregivers","Health care team members"],"sources":[{"id":"acts","label":"ACS ACTS: Finding the Right Clinical Trial for You","url":"https://www.cancer.org/cancer/making-treatment-decisions/clinical-trials/acs-acts.html","publisher":"American Cancer Society","checkedAt":"2026-10-23","supports":"Access to Clinical Trials & Support; personalized matching; 'We are working with Massive Bio for its AI-driven clinical trial matching services'; connect with an ACS cancer information specialist; lodging, transportation and other programs; caregiver or provider submissions lead to patient contact; limited to US and US territory residents; 24/7 helpline 1-800-227-2345.","type":"official"}],"applicability":"For patients and caregivers who want help finding clinical trials to discuss with their oncologist.
