“When we think about inclusive clinical trials here at Parexel, we think about including the "whole" patient. We're looking at race and ethnicity, disability status, gender, sex, age, comorbidity, and socioeconomic status. To do this well we have to stay open about trying and learning new things and therefore we are upskilling our teams at all levels.”
