With so many misunderstandings about clinical trials, this podcast aims to clarify what a clinical trial is, how they have changed over time, why it is important to inform patients about them and how to increase access. With only about 7% participation in clinical trials by patients, the question is how to make trials more available to patients. Dr. Geoffrey Oxnard, VP Clinical Development, Global Head Thoracic Cancer, Lilly, is our guest. He is both a treating oncologist as well as a scientist helping to develop new drugs to treat cancer. He discusses different phases in clinical trials, how to partner with his patients in making decisions about whether to join a new trial, and how to expand access to trials to diverse populations.
