Doximity was flagged for having anti-vaccine information. The best approach is to use social media to connect HCPs to clincial information and drugtrials. 86% of diagnostic device companies, 65% of pharma marketers, and over half of biotechs use social as a critical part of their marketing mix to reach HCPs.
But Reuters reported that the doctor identified as its principal clinical trial investigator has said he is not in charge of the trial. Reuters also pointed to other links with one of the study authors and Brazil’s vaccine sceptic president, Jair Bolsonaro.
According to the FDA’s 2020 DrugTrials Snapshot Report , only 8% of clinical trial participants are Black or African American, as compared to nearly 14% of the US population. The fact is, many minorities never learn about vital clinical trials in play, or that they’re eligible to participate.
Before drugs are authorised, evidence of their safety and efficacy is limited to results from clinical trials, so it is essential that pharmacovigilance continues after a therapy has been approved. After AEs are recorded, they must be translated and put back out to doctors and scientists for processing.
Some Phase I trials are also first-in-human (FIH) studies, meaning the treatment has not previously been tested in people. For example, current prevention research includes the development of vaccines against diseases caused by Zika and Ebola viruses. Clinical trials are essential to developing new and better drugs and therapies.
Despite these statistics, in the US, Black people only constitute five percent of all clinical trial participants. The overwhelming majority of trial participants nationwide are white. This mistrust stems from both historic and continuing events in healthcare pertaining to issues of racial and socioeconomic discrimination.
