In the evolving landscape of medical research, the inclusion of diverse populations in clinical trials is critical. Each individual's unique genetic background and lifestyle factors significantly influence both the efficacy and safety of new medications. Historically, the lack of diversity in clinical trials has been a glaring issue, with significant repercussions. It has not only failed to address the needs of all populations but has also stifled innovation, costing the pharmaceutical industry billions, as highlighted in recent studies.

Despite compelling presentations and data showing significant efficacy and a low incidence of serious adverse events, the committee voted against FDA approval.
