Walgreens Launches Inaugural Patient Advisory Board to Advance Access and Representation in Clinical Research
DEERFIELD, Ill.--DEC. 13, 2024-- With a history of more than 120 years serving communities across the country, Walgreens prides itself in being a trusted retail pharmacy partner for more than 9 million patients and customers it serves each day. Walgreens is amplifying its commitment to its patients and partners through the formation of the Walgreens Clinical Trials Patient Advisory Board. Since its launch in June 2022, the Walgreens Clinical Trials team has reached more than 7 million patients to potentially recruit into sponsor-led clinical trials. As the team continues expanding its scope and raising awareness about the importance of community-centered clinical research, the Patient Advisory Board members will offer key patient insights that are an invaluable resource to the delivery and advancement of clinical trials.
伊利諾伊州迪爾菲爾德--2024年12月13日——沃爾格林擁有超過120年的爲全國各地社區提供服務的歷史,以成爲每天爲900萬多名患者和客戶提供服務的值得信賴的零售藥房合作伙伴而感到自豪。通過成立沃爾格林臨床試驗患者諮詢委員會,沃爾格林正在擴大其對患者和合作夥伴的承諾。自2022年6月啓動以來,沃爾格林臨床試驗團隊已經接觸了超過700萬名患者,有可能招募他們參加由贊助者主導的臨床試驗。隨着該團隊繼續擴大其範圍並提高人們對以社區爲中心的臨床研究重要性的認識,患者顧問委員會成員將提供關鍵的患者見解,這些見解是開展和推進臨床試驗的寶貴資源。
The inaugural Patient Advisory Board consists of 10 patient experts who will leverage both lived and learned experiences to inform clinical trial recruitment and retention efforts to increase access and representation in clinical research in communities that have historically been excluded. Ramita Tandon, chief biopharma services officer, is standing up the Board as part of Walgreens' commitment to bringing community-based clinical research to more people that may benefit from it.
首屆患者顧問委員會由10位患者專家組成,他們將利用生活和學到的經驗,爲臨床試驗的招募和保留工作提供信息,以增加歷來被排除在外的社區中臨床研究的機會和代表性。首席生物製藥服務官拉米塔·坦登正在組建董事會,這是沃爾格林承諾將基於社區的臨床研究帶給更多可能從中受益的人群的承諾的一部分。
"I am proud to engage with our inaugural cohort of Patient Advisory Board members to increase awareness and representation in clinical trials. Only 5% of the U.S. population participates in clinical trials and nearly 80% of trials fail to meet their enrollment goals, often contributing to delays in bringing new medications to patients," said Tandon. "Our Patient Advisory Board members will help inform how we approach our sponsor-led clinical trials to better serve our patients and partners."
「我很自豪能與我們的首批患者顧問委員會成員互動,以提高臨床試驗的認識和代表性。坦登說,只有5%的美國人口參與臨床試驗,將近80%的試驗未能實現入組目標,這通常會導致延遲向患者提供新藥。」「我們的患者顧問委員會成員將幫助告知我們如何開展由贊助商主導的臨床試驗,以更好地爲我們的患者和合作夥伴服務。」
With increasing regulatory focus on incorporating patients' perspectives in medical product development,1,2 and the growth of precision medicine,3 now more than ever, it's important to engage with patients and individuals who have had experience with clinical research as their lived experiences offer an opportunity to continue improving clinical trials to best serve patients.
隨着監管機構越來越注重將患者的觀點納入醫療產品開發,1,2以及精準醫療3的發展,現在比以往任何時候都更加重要,與有臨床研究經驗的患者和個人進行接觸非常重要,因爲他們的生活經歷爲繼續改善臨床試驗提供了機會,從而爲患者提供最佳服務。
Walgreens Clinical Trials Patient Advisory Board members will commit to serve a 2-year term and will offer ongoing counsel, diverse thinking and expertise to inform Walgreens Clinical Trials efforts.
沃爾格林臨床試驗患者顧問委員會成員將承諾任期兩年,並將提供持續的諮詢、多元化的思維和專業知識,爲沃爾格林臨床試驗工作提供信息。
