Gender bias in clinical trials has long been a barrier to developing effective treatments that work for everyone. This session focuses on the critical need to eliminate gender bias in patient recruitment to ensure that clinical trials are inclusive and representative of the entire population.

We'll explore the ways in which gender bias can unintentionally influence trial design, patient selection, and data interpretation, leading to skewed results that fail to account for gender differences in treatment responses. We'll also discuss strategies for identifying and addressing these biases at every stage of the recruitment process, from protocol design to outreach and enrollment.

Participants will learn about innovative approaches and best practices for recruiting a diverse patient population that accurately reflects both male and female experiences. By removing gender bias, we can improve the validity and applicability of clinical trial outcomes, ultimately leading to more equitable healthcare solutions.
