Clinical trials are key to advancing new standards of care that can improve survival and quality of life for people with cancer. However, cost to trial participants is often a barrier to their enrollment. This conversation will dive into the background on the clinical trials landscape and present policy solutions that will work to eliminate some of these barriers, in particular, the Clinical Trials Modernization Act (H.R. 8412) (CTMA)
CTMA would increase access to clinical trials by allowing clinical trial sponsors to provide financial support to patients for costs associated with their trial participation, including medical cost-sharing like copays, and non-medical expenses such as travel, parking, food, and lodging. The leaders on this panel will discuss the legislation, as well as provide a call to action for how organizations and individuals can advocate for policies that actively work to increase diverse participation in clinical trials, and will also provide resources and tools to help individuals navigate the often complex clinical trials landscape.
Join us on October 11th at 12 PM ET for a live session on “Eliminating Policy Barriers to Diversifying Clinical Trials” hosted by the National Minority Quality Forum. ??
Our esteemed panel, including leaders in health equity and policy, will discuss actionable strategies to make clinical trials more inclusive and representative of diverse communities. ??
