4 Ways To Increase Diversity In Clinical Trials

The lack of diversity in clinical trials has been a persistent issue, carrying significant implications. This problem not only results in knowledge gaps within the healthcare industry, particularly in understanding the effects of treatments on minority participants in various disease areas but also contributes to unequal access to innovative medical interventions.

Regrettably, achieving greater diversity in clinical trials has historically proven challenging due to barriers faced by sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), trial sites, and potential participants. However, by placing diversity as a central consideration at every stage of the clinical trial process, it is possible to proactively address these obstacles and promote successful and equitable trials.

This eBook aims to provide sponsors and CROs with insights on implementing diversity strategies that encompass every facet of the trial lifecycle, designing a patient-centric experience in collaboration with trusted community partners, ensuring trials are positioned for regulatory and operational success, and bridging the diversity gap through enhanced accessibility to information and trial sites.
