Advancing LGBTQIA+ Representation: The FDA’s Role in Inclusive Diversity in Clinical Trials

Inclusive clinical trials are essential for ensuring that new treatments and medical interventions benefit all populations, particularly those historically underrepresented in research. By addressing barriers such as non-inclusive screening processes and lack of awareness in LGBTQIA+ communities, the FDA is making strides toward more diverse and representative clinical trial cohorts. This commitment to inclusivity will help create safer, more effective treatments that reflect the needs of all individuals, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.
