Conclusion: While clinical trial enrollment remains low for men with advanced prostate cancer in this contemporary population-based cohort, rates of participation for Hispanic/Latino men, but not Black men, are significantly lower. Increased attention is needed to better understand the reasons behind these racial disparities and to develop effective interventions to promote access.
