Driving progress: Empowering patients through clinical research
Through your work in clinical trials, you are at the heart of advancing medical research and improving lives. You already understand that representation in clinical trials is essential to discovering treatments that work for everyone. Yet, we also recognize the challenges you face in ensuring that patients from different communities, cultures, age groups and abilities are represented in this vital process.
Together, by building on your expertise and dedication, we can help reduce gaps in care, support more patients in accessing treatments, and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future.
