Abstract
Purpose of review: Recent studies show that unresolved disparities hinder enrollment to clinical trials, equitable distribution of treatments, and impact the generalizability of trials, compromising health outcomes across different populations. This review aims to examine the persistent disparities noted in clinical trial enrollment, with particular focus on lymphoid malignancies, CAR-T cell and bispecific antibody therapies.
Recent findings: Targeted interventions can enhance recruitment of underrepresented groups in clinical trials and address the complex barriers hindering participation, which are essential for achieving healthcare access equity and treatment outcomes. Improvement must be multifaceted, addressing socioeconomic, geographic, and biologic factors contributing to underrepresentation. This includes more lenient eligibility criteria, improving outreach and education, as well as using technology to diversify trial participation.
期刊介绍:
his journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hematologic malignancy.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and T-cell and other lymphoproliferative malignancies. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
