This webinar targets professionals across the clinical trial ecosystem with best practices learned about taking collective action to drive improvements focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues. You will learn about building trust within historically underrepresented racial and ethnic minority communities, making clinical trials inclusive by design, and fostering partnership to address DEI-related issues in an integrated and sustainable manner.
Dive into the key elements of a diversity action plan for Phase III clinical trials, as explained in the latest recommendations and requirements from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including considerations of race, ethnicity, age, sex, gender, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. Learn how these diversity action plans contribute to the study site’s delivery of meaningful data on drug safety and efficacy from to sponsors.
The ICH E8(R1) Guideline on General Considerations for Clinical Studies from the International Council for Harmonization guides the clinical development lifecycle for experimental therapies, including quality requirements for clinical study designs and data sources. Principles and practices for the conduct of clinical trials tied to this guideline, already in effect in such regions as the U.S., Canada, and Europe and forthcoming elsewhere, will be reviewed.
Ensuring a more equitable and accessible healthcare system starts with the healthcare professionals engaged for pre-drug launch and marketing, with the site investigators recruited by sponsors to run clinical trials, and with the location and availability of the study in terms of diverse and underrepresented populations of potential participants. Here’s a historic overview of what has been lacking in clinical trials when it comes to diversity and inclusion, how federal guidelines are beginning to turn the conversation within big pharma toward health equity, and more.
