Time to Talk: Diversity in Clinical Trials

Cancer affects everyone – but everyone hasn't had the same access to the latest treatments. We have the power to change that.

We've launched Time to Talk: Diversity in Clinical Trials – an awareness campaign dedicated to transforming cancer care for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) patients and their families. With support from BeiGene, Eisai, Daiichi-Sankyo, and Regeneron, we've created a platform where patients, caregivers, and oncology pharmacists can:

  1. Learn about the evolution of cancer clinical trials
  2. Understand the who, what, where, and why of clinical trials 
  3. Debunk common myths about clinical trials
  4. Connect with people who have participated in clinical trials

Together, we can improve cancer treatments for BIPOC communities.
