Overview
The Value of Increasing Diversity in Clinical Trials
The underrepresentation of diverse populations in clinical trials creates knowledge gaps about the risks and benefits of drugs and devices for the public.
CTTI is addressing the value of including diverse patient populations in clinical trials throughout the development lifecycle of medical products—from early target identification through clinical trial conduct to increase research discoveries is vital. Forthcoming recommendations and resources will help stakeholders adopt new organizational level practices that increase diversity in clinical trials and, thereby, better identify population-level differences in treatment response, safety, and efficacy.
