Clinical Trials That Explicitly Exclude Gay and Lesbian Patients

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The authors found that exclusion of lesbians and gay men from clinical trials in the United States is not uncommon, particularly in studies with sexual function as an end point. It is likely that most gay and lesbian patients are unaware that their sexual orientation is being used as a screening factor for participation in clinical trials.
