Unlocking Health Equity: The Urgent Need for Diversity in Clinical Trials

Diversity and equity in clinical trials aren't just ethical imperatives—they're essential for advancing scientific research and ensuring healthcare inclusivity. With legal mandates now requiring diverse representation, many sponsors are turning to a combination of census and claims data to identify target areas for trials. However, the results have been underwhelming, with only 1 in 25 cancer drug developers fairly including racial and ethnic minorities. This video highlights the challenges, such as the situation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where significant Black populations are not adequately represented in breast cancer trials.
