Abstract
Purpose of ReviewRecent studies show that unresolved disparities hinder enrollment to clinical trials, equitable distribution of treatments, and impact the generalizability of trials, compromising health outcomes across different populations. This review aims to examine the persistent disparities noted in clinical trial enrollment, with particular focus on lymphoid malignancies, CAR-T cell and bispecific antibody therapies.Recent FindingsTargeted interventions can enhance recruitment of underrepresented groups in clinical trials and address the complex barriers hindering participation, which are essential for achieving healthcare access equity and treatment outcomes.SummaryImprovement must be multifaceted, addressing socioeconomic, geographic, and biologic factors contributing to underrepresentation. This includes more lenient eligibility criteria, improving outreach and education, as well as using technology to diversify trial participation.
