Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has an expectation that products filed for marketing authorization have to include data that are representative of the US patient population. Any foreign clinical data that is submitted has to represent an ethnically diverse population that is generated utilizing qualified Principal Investigators (PIs) and conducted according to Good Clinical Practices (GCP) requirements outlined in 21 CFR 312.120, Foreign clinical studies not conducted under an IND. With the recent passing of the Omnibus Legislation, FDA now also has the authority to require Diversity Plans for all Phase 3 clinical trials of new drugs or “as appropriate, another pivotal study of a new drug.” The FDA has released a guidance document, “Diversity Plans to Improve Enrollment of Participants from Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Populations in Clinical Trials” (April 2022), for the industry with expectations to update the document in 2023 now that legislation is passed. This whitepaper discusses the FDA guidance and expectations of sponsors with regards to foreign clinical data and the intersection with enrolling ethnically diverse populations in clinical studies.
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.
