Why is Diversity in Clinical Trials Important?

Clinical trials are designed to test the safety and efficacy of a drug or device before it is approved for widespread use. To generate the most representative data, trial participants should represent the diverse population that will eventually use a new treatment.

Historically, the industry has failed to engage a number of minority communities in clinical research with certain populations experiencing significant under-representation. This is due in large part to the limited nature and delayed timing of the race and ethnicity data that sponsors receive.

How can StudyTeam Help?

StudyTeam’s Diversity Reporting provides aggregated reports of recruitment and enrollment metrics by race and ethnicity.

These insights allow sponsors to analyze these factors, help identify causes of underrepresentation of diverse populations in clinical trials, and support sponsors to take steps to improve diversity in current trials and better design future trials to be more inclusive.
