Session III: September 20, 2023

Enhancing Clinical Trial Awareness and Increasing Participation of Black Patients

Successful prostate cancer clinical trials have ushered in a new generation of treatment therapies. However, the lack of participation in these trials by Black patients is a significant missed opportunity. This session highlighted some of the missed opportunities and presented strategies by trial sponsors to diversify their trials. The session also included patients’ testimonials about their clinical trial experiences and needs. PHEN’s Clinical Trials rally showcases PHEN’s efforts to increase clinical trial awareness and participation by Black patients.
