Considerations for Patient Diversity in Cardiovascular Clinical Trials
About this webinar
Patient diversity in clinical research populations has become a strategic focus of stakeholders throughout the industry and by regulatory authorities throughout the world. There are many common challenges in the recruitment and retention of diverse populations for participation in clinical trials. But, with the right strategy, an ongoing commitment to ensuring representation and a collaborative effort between the CRO, the sponsor and investigative sites, representative diversity in trial populations can be achieved. The key to achieving representative patient diversity in clinical trials is to understand the importance of selecting the correct mix of diversity strategies to create a nuanced, protocol-specific diversity initiative.
Join the featured speakers as they discuss challenges and considerations surrounding the recruitment and retention of diverse patient populations to ensure appropriate representation in clinical research.
