This symposium examines the complex challenges encountered in special population study design. Appropriate management of specialty populations with comorbidities on multiple medications creates challenges in protocol design and enrollment to ensure patient safety and accurate and quality data.

Learning Objectives

Discuss strategies to adapt to industry trends and changing demands of special population studies; Identify options in protocol design and the process for screening patients with comorbidities and concomitant medications; Evaluate the impact of subject population on subject safety data and on assessment of drug safety.

#335: Multi-Ethnic, Special Populations, and Patient Diversity in Clinical Trials
Limited Capacity seats available
Component Type: Symposium
Level: Intermediate
CE: ACPE 1.25 Knowledge UAN: 0286-0000-16-521-L04-P; CME 1.25; IACET 1.25; RN 1.25

This symposium will cover multi-ethnic, special populations, and patient diversity in clinical trials. It will illustrate an assessment of over 10,000 trials, recently conducted by sponsor companies, to quantify the differences of pediatric trials from adult studies. It will illuminate the learning’s in site identification, site qualification, and enrollment from the DOVE study, a 14-country study representing a mix of traditional and developing regions. It will then evaluate and analyze the available data regarding the characteristics of medicines approved for older patients in European Union and the US, contributing to the information in the geriatric population in order to discuss their access to innovative drugs.

Learning Objectives

Discuss country-specific differentiation in site activation, subject recruitment, and data quality, especially around developing regions, as demonstrated by the DOVE study; Classify the difference in performance between pediatric and adult studies; Describe the challenge of addressing geriatrics adequately in the assessment of medicines including the necessity to increase global regulatory dialogue and communication.
