Hanover, MD, April 25, 2022 – Today
the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) announced that Sanofi has made a
commitment to become a funding sponsor of the SCRS Diversity Awareness Program.
The program is aimed at developing a better understanding of the knowledge,
expertise and best practices required for clinical research sites to meet the
needs of an increasingly diverse population. Since its inception in 2017, the
program has provided critical knowledge and solutions to aid sites in
successfully engaging diverse patients in clinical trials.
“Sanofi is committed to enrolling patients in
clinical trials who are representative of the people our medicines are intended
to help. To help improve on diversity in clinical trials, we are implementing a
number of steps, including the way we design our studies, the sites we recruit
from, how we train investigators in referring patients for clinical
trials, and engagement with community stakeholders. As such we are pleased to
be a funding sponsor of the SCRS diversity awareness program,” commented Dietmar
Berger, Chief Medical Officer, Global Head of Development at Sanofi.
“Sanofi has been involved with SCRS for many
years and has always prioritized the perspective of clinical research sites and
patients,” said Diana Foster, SCRS VP of Strategy and Special Projects. “SCRS
is privileged to have Sanofi included in supporting the SCRS Diversity Program
and we look forward to our continued collaboration towards this vital
initiative.”
