Abstract
Despite recent advancements in Alzheimer's disease therapeutics and diagnostics, significant challenges remain in accelerating participant recruitment-particularly among diverse populations-and ensuring equitable access to clinical trials. This paper summarizes discussions and recommendations from the 2024 Roundtable on Advancing the Science of Recruitment for Inclusive Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials, hosted by the USC Clinical Trial Recruitment Lab (CTRL). Bringing together 40 leading experts from across the Alzheimer's clinical trial ecosystem in the U.S., including thought leaders from academia, industry, government and philanthropy, the Roundtable examined critical barriers to inclusivity and explored emerging recruitment approaches. Discussions highlighted the need for strategies that expand patient access, remove systemic barriers, and foster inclusivity in clinical research.
期刊介绍:
The JPAD Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer’Disease will publish reviews, original research articles and short reports to improve our knowledge in the field of Alzheimer prevention including: neurosciences, biomarkers, imaging, epidemiology, public health, physical cognitive exercise, nutrition, risk and protective factors, drug development, trials design, and heath economic outcomes.JPAD will publish also the meeting abstracts from Clinical Trial on Alzheimer Disease (CTAD) and will be distributed both in paper and online version worldwide.We hope that JPAD with your contribution will play a role in the development of Alzheimer prevention.
