Diversifying clinical trials

No authors listed. Nat Med. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Scientific common sense and social justice dictate that the safety and efficacy of new therapies must be tested in the patient populations in need of treatment. Yet a recent study found that African Americans have been dramatically underrepresented in US clinical trials for cancer drugs. Efforts to increase the participation of minorities in clinical trials must become a priority for all drug developers.
