Help shape READI’s recommendations on collecting participant characteristics in clinical studies

READI is inviting the clinical research community to review proposed participant-facing questions and response options for collecting participant characteristics in clinical studies. Share your perspective and help assess whether the proposed approach is clear, appropriate, feasible and applicable across different European contexts.

WHAT IS READI?

The READI (Representative Clinical Research, Advancing Inclusivity in Europe) Project is a public-private partnership funded by the Horizon Europe Innovative Health Initiative (IHI). It aims to create a more cohesive and inclusive ecosystem for clinical studies by ensuring the participation of underserved and underrepresented populations.
To date, clinical study results have struggled to be scientifically representative, as it frequently does not include patients who fully reflect the complete general population leading to:

THE CHALLENGES

Unequal access to health innovations for patients across Europe

Significant knowledge gaps in clinical research that affect healthcare for everyone

Preventing many US/UR populations from participating in clinical studies, reinforcing disparities in healthcare innovation and outcomes

Join us in shaping a more equitable clinical studies ecosystem where everyone has the opportunity to participate and benefit.

the readi project´s objectives

The READI Project works to address inequities in clinical studies by creating a clinical studies ecosystem where underrepresented and underserved (US/UR) populations, along with key stakeholders including patients, healthcare professionals, sites, patient organizations, regulatory agencies, Health Technology Assessment (HTAs), ethical committees and sponsors can fully participate and contribute.

KEY IMPACTS

Advancing UR and US representativeness and inclusion in clinical studies improving
