23rd, August 2023 | Diversity, Downloads, FDA, Resources

The purpose of this guidance is to provide recommendations to sponsors developing medical products on the approach for developing a Race and Ethnicity Diversity Plan (referred to as the “Plan”) to enroll adequate numbers of participants in clinical trials from underrepresented racial and ethnic populations in the United States.

The plan, Diversity Plan DG — Final Version — 4-6-22with date_508 (see attached document) can be accessed here.

The FDA released a Federal Regulatory Notice on the topic of improving the diversity considerations for clinical trials on April 14, 2022. Subsequent releases have since been published by the FDA including an infographic and brochure.
