In the last few years, greater attention is being paid toward ensuring that as many people as possible can participate in clinical research. The often-cited statistic that only 5% of cancer patients enroll in clinical trials doesn’t reflect that most non-participants have no trial options for which they are eligible. To open research participation, we need to consider both how we develop eligibility criteria in clinical protocols to allow the broadest possible range of participants, and we need to look at how we present and conduct trials, to make sure that they are welcoming and inclusive to everyone and to all communities.
