FDA releases draft guidance on measuring patient-reported outcomes in cancer clinical trials

Penn doubles the percentage of Black participants in cancer clinical trials

An important goal of the Abramson Cancer Center is to serve and engage our community and that includes improving access to clinical trials for all patients, said senior author Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, director of the ACC and vice president for Cancer Programs in the University of Pennsylvania Health System. Aligning the number of Black patients with cancer we care for with the number enrolled in our trials is how we can help bring more equitable care to the community, close gaps in disparities, and sustain trust. There s more work to be done to improve access and inclusion of minority groups, and the impact of this outreach and engagement effort is an important step forward.

Penn University more than doubles the percentage of Black patients in cancer clinical trials

Penn University more than doubles the percentage of Black patients in cancer clinical trials A five-year community outreach and engagement effort by the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania (ACC) to increase enrollment of Black patients into cancer clinical trials more than doubled the percentage of participants, improving access and treatment for a group with historically low representation in cancer research. The percentage of patients enrolled into a treatment clinical trial, for example, increased from 12 to 24 percent. A significant increase was also observed in non-therapeutic interventional and non-interventional trials. The findings were published today in an abstract to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting on June 5.
