We're on a mission to make clinical trials more inclusive.
Our mission is to facilitate a collaborative approach to clinical trial awareness and participation to ensure that medical innovations work for everyone.
We
believe
Life-saving medical innovations should be inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Data-Driven insights are needed to understand the drivers and barriers to clinical trial participation among underrepresented groups.
Culturally relevant messaging will help engage and encourage inclusion in clinical trials.
Diversity upstream at the early stages of clinical trial design and development can deliver commercial value downstream.
A cross-functional coalition of former pharma executives, associations, health care organizations, and health advocates coming together to identify barriers and solutions for the successful and sustainable inclusion of women and minorities in clinical trials.
We invite pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations to join us for more information. With the combined power of data, insights, and storytelling, we can bring innovations to all who need them, starting with clinical trials.
Together we can save lives.
Who
we are
Why this
The vast majority of today's medical trials fail to include, test, and validate safety and efficacy among a growing diverse patient base. If we continue with our current clinical trial design, site selection, and low-diversity participant make-up - the odds will be forever stacked against equitable health outcomes.
"Potential racial, ethnic, and other differences in response to drugs are important to FDA’s efforts to help ensure that the safety and effectiveness of drugs are studied in all people who will use the products once they are approved.” - OMH project manager Christine Merenda, M.P.H., R.N.
