                  Enhancing diversity in clinical trial populations: An agency-industry perspective

                  • 31 December 2022
                  • Mathilda Fienkeng, PharmD, MS, RAC • Alysha Croker, PhD • Zaida Recinos-Vasquez, MS, MS • Monique Carter, MS, RAC, FRAPS
                  Achieving health equity – the opportunity for all patients to live a healthy life, irrespective of their circumstances – requires the collective effort of the entire medical product development ecosystem. An example of such a collaboration took place at the September 2022 RAPS Convergence in Phoenix, Arizona, with joint presentations by representatives from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and industry (Pfizer) who discussed enhancing diversity in ...

                  How regulatory affairs can expand its capabilities and increase diversity

                  • 31 January 2022
                  • Holly Drake • Ginny Hu, PhD • Brent Eliason, JD
                  Abstract The recruitment, hiring, and training of regulatory professionals should evolve to attract and retain valuable candidates with diverse perspectives, experiences, and/or skills. Regulatory professionals may consider doing this as part of their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by hiring “hidden workers,” a term for multiple groups of people who are chronically unemployed or underemployed because of systemic problems with current workforce trainin...

                  The RACE is on: Opportunities in pediatric oncology product development

                  • 19 November 2021
                  • Lisa Crose, PhD, RAC
                  Pediatric oncology patients continue to have significant unmet medical need. Although the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) mandated evaluation of new drugs for pediatric patients, the rarity and uniquity of pediatric cancers allowed for waivers or exemptions from PREA requirements. The passing of FDA Reauthorization Act amendments in 2017 included the Research Acceleration for Cure and Equity Act, which expands the scope of oncology products subject to PREA. Sponsors d...

                  Consumer Advocacy Group Warns on Orphan Provisions in 'Cures' Act

                  • 08 December 2015
                  • By Michael Mezher
                  Orphan drug provisions in the House-passed 21st Century Cures Act could increase US healthcare spending by billions of dollars over the next decade, consumer advocacy group Public Citizen warns, though the bill still remains in limbo in the Senate. The provisions in question would add an additional six months of marketing exclusivity for approved drugs that later go on to be approved to treat rare diseases. The extended period of exclusivity would apply to all indicati...

                  • 08 May 2015
                  • By Alexander Gaffney, RAC
                  The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled new regulations to establish a parallel system of organ donation intended to serve patients with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Background The regulations come almost a year and a half after US President Barack Obama signed into law the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act of 2013 .
