Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended that clinical trial study populations accurately reflect the patients likely to use the product, if approved. The FDA has not provided specific guidance on how cohort sizes of clinically relevant demographic characteristics should be determined. Therefore, the present study was designed to compare demographic characteristics reported in US-only FDA approval trials to the demographic characteristics of the related medical disorders in an electronic health records database of >150 M patients in the United States (US). The results demonstrate that comparative disparities in demographic cohort proportions are common, yet inconsistent, and highlight the need to define disorder specific demographic cohort proportion goals in future clinical trials.
