Yesterday was a riveting start to the ACORI Community Oncology-Inclusive Clinical Trial Design Summit. Looking forward to Day 2 as we take a deep dive covering the optimization of clinical trial design for diverse patient populations! #ACORI #ClinicalTrials #EquitableHealthcare #Oncology #ACCC

True progress in cancer care comes when innovation meets inclusivity. At the ACORI Community Oncology-Inclusive Clinical Trial Design Summit, we’re exploring key topics that affect clinical trial design: including the role of AI in clinical trials, opportunities to decentralize clinical trials, and aligning inclusion criteria to reflect real-world diversity. Together, we have the power to reshape research and ensure every patient has a chance at life-saving treatments. Let's expand the boundaries of what's possible and create a future where equity is at the heart of every clinical trial.
