Racial and ethnic minorities continue to be underrepresented in these clinical trials. Black or African Americans represent 13.4% of the U.S. population, yet reports show they make up only 5% of clinical trial participants. Hispanic or Latino origin represent 18.1% of the U.S. population but only 1% of clinical trial participants. The clinical trial population must be diverse enough to represent the patients who will be using the medicine.
