DIA Keynote Calls for Expanded COVID-19 Trial Parameters - a podcast by Unknown

After her stage four metastatic cancer diagnosis in 2011, writer Mary Elizabeth Williams was selected to participate in one of the world’s first immunotherapy clinical trials. Twelve weeks later, she showed a complete response. Williams will explore the clinical trial process in her DIA 2020 Keynote Address. “If we are creating protocols for patients who, like me, are otherwise perfectly healthy and have no comorbidities, you're not in any way serving the people who are the most vulnerable,” she explains. “Look at who is most directly impacted by this virus: It's people who have pre-existing conditions and yet people with pre-existing conditions are routinely shut out of the clinical trial process.”
