In an age where the idea of inclusivity is rapidly gaining ground, the healthcare industry has also taken note. For decades, there has been a push for the inclusion of diverse ethnic and racial groups in clinical trials, but the desired progress has been much too slow. The COVID-19 pandemic was a reality check, unmasking underlying inequities in healthcare access and subsequently, clinical trial access.
The pandemic’s effect had a resonating impact, pushing both Congress and the Administration into taking decisive action. In response to this situation, trial sponsors, hospitals, and other stakeholders have ramped up their efforts to widen access to clinical trials for diverse populations.
Presented by Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP, a top multidisciplinary, integrated professional services firm, this webinar is expected to shed light on how community hospitals can play a larger role in diversifying clinical trials.
Community hospitals, owing to their unique positioning in terms of access to diverse population groups, can play a crucial role in ensuring a fair representation in clinical trials. It is time that these institutions were leveraged more effectively towards achieving this important objective.
This webinar is a call to action and an opportunity for legal professionals, healthcare providers, and stakeholders to discuss, rethink, and redesign strategies for a more inclusive approach to conducting clinical trials in the future.
As legal professionals, responsible for advising hospitals, healthcare organizations, and trial sponsors, it is important for us to stay informed regarding such significant developments. Such webinars present a chance to develop a better understanding of the mechanism to improve inclusivity in clinical trials, consequently improving the overall quality and relevance of healthcare and legal advisory services we provide
