Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended that clinical trial study populations accurately reflect the patients likely to use the product, if approved. The FDA has not provided specific guidance on how cohort sizes of clinically relevant demographic characteristics should be determined. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare demographic characteristics reported in US-only FDA approval trials to the demographic characteristics of the related medical disorders in an electronic health records database of >150 M patients in the United States (US). The results demonstrate that comparative disparities in demographic cohort proportions are common, yet inconsistent, and highlight the need to define disorder specific demographic cohort proportion goals in future clinical trials.
期刊介绍：
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
