Abstract:
This lecture examines race in the context of the history of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Clinical trial research policies and norms have grown increasingly attentive to the inclusion of racial minorities in RCT subject populations. The lecture addresses when and why race has been measured in RCTs, exploring the question of whether racial groups have been fairly represented in RCTs. Relying on broad collections of historical trials and archival materials in the collections of the NLM's History of Medicine Division, it includes a timeline of racial trends in RCT research subject populations, accompanied by discussion of the role of the NIH in key historic developments related to racial diversity in clinical trials.
