## Who this is for
For patients and caregivers who want help finding clinical trials to discuss with their oncologist. Inclusion is not a recommendation or a finding that any trial or service is right for your situation.

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.

## What they offer

- Personalized clinical trial matching, provided through Massive Bio.
- A conversation with an American Cancer Society cancer information specialist.
- Plain-language education about how trials work.
- Connections to other ACS programs, such as lodging near treatment and rides to appointments.

## How to join and what it costs

Fill 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).

## How it fits with other services here

Massive 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.

## Questions I would ask

- Which of my biomarkers and treatments will the match consider?
- Can a specialist help me contact a trial site?
- Which ACS lodging or ride programs could help if a trial is far away?

## Contacts

- ACS ACTS sign-up: [cancer.org ACS ACTS](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/making-treatment-decisions/clinical-trials/acs-acts.html)
- 24/7 cancer helpline: 1-800-227-2345

## Limits and context
Service details are reported by the provider unless noted, as of October 2026. A trial match is not an offer of enrollment; each trial decides eligibility, and your care team should review any option. Confirm current services and any costs directly.

## Relationships and disclosures
I have no financial or business relationship with American Cancer Society ACS ACTS.
