There is significant potential in decentralized models and digital health technology to expand diversity in clinical trials.

Partnership expected to utilize Walgreens’ pharmacies as recruitment and trial sites for a clinical study regarding obesity, weight issues, and type 2 diabetes, mainly in historically underrepresented groups.

A look at the lessons learned from one platform approach to study enrollment tracking—and the wider quest for accountability in achieving diversity and inclusion goals.

A representative sample patient population that accurately reflects the overall population is vital to establish the safety and efficacy of a drug.

Systematic review of research articles sought to identify and characterize different technologies being used in clinical studies.

In part 2 of this video interview with ACT editor Andy Studna, Tirisham Gyang, MD, assistant professor of neurology at The Ohio State University discusses how industry can effectively enroll patients from underrepresented populations into their trials.

Industry leaders discuss how technology can help companies adapt to the regulatory changes and accomplish their DE&I goals.

Exploring a human-centered, holistic approach for equitable trial outcomes.

The clinical research industry is increasingly leveraging insights, experience, and advanced solutions to better implement diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Truly moving the needle in clinical trial diversity comes down to embracing two fundamental pieces of the DE&I puzzle.

Tola Olorunnisola, senior vice president – general manager, clinical services and strategy, at Avantor, discusses the progress and challenges in incorporating more diversity-driven measures in drug development.

The six steps to designing a successful diversity action plan for a clinical trial protocol.

A study exploring healthcare preference and experience in this population group uncovers new insights and opportunities related to clinical research participation.

With significant race and sex disparities in the area of peripheral artery disease, a study shows that clinical trials often lack representative patient populations.

It is crucial throughout the clinical trials space to understand the challenges and triumphs of DEI.

Despite repeated calls from the FDA, patient advocates, and scholars for the need to address demographic disparities in clinical research, White participants still remain overrepresented while racial minority participants remain underrepresented in clinical trials.

Leveraging a “diversity by design” approach can build patient narratives and optimize protocols from the onset.

Robust data sets which can effectively represent diverse populations are key to driving greater inclusivity in trials.

Expanding clinical trial access to include historically underrepresented ethnic and racial minorities means addressing root-cause barriers, including taxation.

Authors in this area focused on increasing diversity in clinical trials through patient-first payment options and trial design.

Despite regulatory guidance, disability status is frequently unreported or overlooked in trial design.

Patient-first trial design, based around the tenets of adaptability and personalization, has emerged as a key solution to increase diversity and improve trial outcomes for all.
