Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the geographic distribution of United States (US) clinical trial sites utilizedfor guideline changing studies of cholesterol management. Randomized trials evaluating pharmacologic interventions for cholesterol treatment and reporting location data (ie, zip code of trial sites) were identified. Location data was abstracted from ClinicalTrials.gov. Half of US counties were over 30 miles from a study site and, social determinants of health were more favorable in counties with versus without clinical trial sites. Stakeholders such as regulatory bodies andtrial sponsors should incentivize and support infrastructure that would enable a larger number of US counties to be utilized for clinical trial sites. Not applicable.
