About this webinar:

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has successfully enabled patients to self-identify their Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) and intersex status in eligible US clinical trials. 

This groundbreaking effort in collecting and operationalizing SOGI data marks a pivotal stride towards addressing the crucial data gap for sexual and gender minorities.

BMS will discuss:

  • Navigating and operationalizing SOGI data collection in the clinical research setting
  • Addressing challenges and successes in advocating for inclusive data collection within the internal structure of a large organization
  • Effective strategies to engage patients and site partners in the process of self-identification
  • Initiatives to raise awareness among stakeholders about the importance of inclusive data collection in advancing clinical research

About Patients as Partners® in Clinical Research, the webinar’s associated conference:

Patients as Partners® in Clinical Research is an annual conference that offers an unparalleled opportunity to hear from pharma R&D, FDA, and patient advocacy on how patient involvement got done to drive greater efficiencies in clinical research.
