Equity in Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are key to advancing new standards of care that can improve survival and quality of life for people with cancer, but to be successful, trials must have adequate participation, including diverse participation from currently underrepresented groups. Will you support legislation to ensure more patients — regardless of their race, ethnicity, economic means or their geographic location — have a chance to enroll in clinical trials?
