New Retina Radio Journal Club: Diversity in Clinical Trials
Do the demographics of patients enrolled in clinical trials accurately reflect the patient populations their drugs intend to treat? Moderator Basil Williams, MD, is joined by panelists Karen Jeng-Miller, MD, MPH; M. Ali Khan, MD, and Katherine Talcott, MD, to summarize a pair of papers exploring this topic. After summarizing the papers' findings, the group reviews a phase 4 trial seeking to enroll underrepresented patients and asks which barriers to enrollment may be linked to shortcomings in demographic diversity.
