S1101 - Inclusion of Underserved Populations in Clinical Trials

Thu, Mar 20, 2025 · 10:30–11:40 AM CET Sydney Room, Congress Center Basel

About this session

This session will explore global efforts to advance diversity, equity and inclusion in clinical trials, focusing on underserved populations and specifically women. Attendees will hear perspectives from regulatory authorities, industry and beyond with insights into key guidance, policy recommendations, and actionable steps for change.

The session will feature a keynote from EMA, covering its guidances and initiatives to advance clinical trial diversity. The keynote will be followed by a panel discussion on what underserved populations we should focus on, implications for not including underserved populations and what different stakeholders are doing to include those populations.

A second keynote will highlight policy recommendations for advancing women’s health in clinical research, followed by a panel discussion on the need to drive innovation in women-specific conditions and the need for the inclusion of women in trials as well as a “call for action” to drive meaningful change.

Both panel discussions will conclude with an interactive Q&A, offering attendees an opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and deepen their understanding of these critical issues.
