Quantification of Age and Sex Ratio Differences between Trial and Target Population for New Drugs
Clinical trials are essential to understand the benefit‐harm profile of new drugs. Lack of adequate representation in age and sex ratio in clinical trials can result, for example, in higher side effects for underrepresented patients. We quantified differences in age and sex ratios between trial and target populations of new drugs approved by the FDA ...
