BIO Takes on Health Equity in Clinical Trials
BIO Takes on Health Equity
in Clinical Trials
First-ever
BIO Clinical Trial Diversity Summit will engage stakeholders to build a
sustainable and equitable clinical development ecosystem
Washington, D.C. (June
10, 2021) – When clinical trials were the center of
attention this past year, another issue came to the forefront: the need for
greater health equity in clinical trials. The Biotechnology Innovation
Organization (BIO) today announced the featured speakers at its first-ever BIO
Clinical Trial Diversity Summit June 24-25, 2021.
The virtual summit will bring
together stakeholders from across the clinical development spectrum to address
inequities, learn from patient experts and help companies improve trials. The
summit will culminate in the creation of a comprehensive vision for an
equitable drug development ecosystem and transforming that vision into an
actionable strategy to execute real change.
“More diverse clinical trials
not only improve outcomes, but they also benefit the entire health care
industry,” stated Ted W. Love, M.D., president and CEO of Global Blood
Therapeutics (GBT) and Chair of the Emerging Companies Section of the BIO Board
of Directors, who will moderate the “Social and Business Imperative of
Increasing Clinical Trial Diversity” session at the summit. “The BIO Clinical
Trial Diversity summit brings together industry, community and clinical
research leaders and patient advocates to help move this from conversation to
action.”
Speakers
include industry leaders, academics and health equity experts from across the
field including:
·
Silas Buchanan, Co-founder and CEO, Institute
for eHealth Equity
·
Dr. Cartier Esham, PhD, Chief Scientific
Officer, BIO
·
Dr. Julie Gerberding, MD, Chief Patient Officer,
Executive VP of Population Health, Global Policy, Merck
·
David Coman, MBA, President and CEO of Science
37
·
Dr. Michelle McMurry-Heath, MD, PhD, President
and CEO of BIO
·
Dr. Merdad Parsey, MD, PhD, Chief Medical
Officer, Gilead
·
Dr. Elena V. Rios, MD, President and CEO,
National Hispanic Medical Association, National Hispanic Health Foundation
·
Dr. Darryl Sleep, MD, Chief Medical Officer,
Amgen
Also speaking at the conference
is Debra Fraser-Howze, founder of Choose Healthy Life, and principal with D. Fraser Associates. “It takes partnership and collaboration to solve the
historical problem of racism and health inequities in health care,” she said.
“I look forward to the opportunity to speak on community and patient engagement
at the BIO Clinical Trial Diversity Summit. We have to build support with
patients and advocates to have meaningful change.”
To counteract the
systemic inequality, injustice and unfair treatment of underserved communities,
BIO launched its BIOEquality
Agenda in 2020. Enhancing clinical trials is at the heart
of the agenda’s three pillars for change – Promote Health Equity,
Invest in the Current and Next Generation of Scientists, and Expand Opportunity
for Women and Other Underrepresented Populations.
Registration
for the BIO
Clinical Trial Diversity Summit is free and
open to all participants.
昆士市國旗日70週年 6/12將遊行放煙火
昆士市長柯奇(Tom
Koch)表示,雖然今年的國旗日可能無法像往年般盛大,但他仍期盼有場像樣的遊行。把施放煙火的地點搬到華樂斯頓海灘,也是為了讓更多人能欣賞到那燦爛美景。他說,去年的第69屆國旗日,礙於新冠病毒疫情,被迫取消,實在很可惜,但也給了他們時間去製作一幅30呎乘50呎的大國旗。
這面巨幅國旗現正由昆市消防局的兩架雲梯掛起,放在靠近退伍軍人紀念體育館附近的Merrymount公園路。民眾將開著裝飾的各種車輛,從下面經過。
柯奇市長鼓勵今年到場參加遊行的人,如果無法保持安全社交距離,最好戴口罩。遊行路線長1.2英里,從Coddington和Hancock街交界處出發,遊行到Merrymount
Parkway,並在Pageant
Field解散。
柯奇表示,這像是場宣佈夏天來臨了的活動。
昆士市府表示,這是全美延續時間最長的國旗日遊行,在麻州州長於5月29日宣布疫情禁令解除後,這一活動讓人備加期待。
昆士市的國旗日始於1952年,由現任市長柯奇的父親,Richard
Koch倡議推出。他率領了一群Koch俱樂部的年輕人,從諾福克下城(Norfolk
Downs)一路遊行到Cavanagh體育館舉行升旗儀式。70年後,成就一段父子傳承佳話。

AG HEALEY URGES BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO PROTECT OPERATIONS FROM RANSOMWARE ATTACKS
AG HEALEY URGES BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO TAKE IMMEDIATE STEPS TO PROTECT OPERATIONS FROM RANSOMWARE ATTACKS
Following Hacking
Incident at Steamship Authority, AG’s Office Stresses Importance of Precautions
to Protect Data Security
BOSTON – In response to an alarming increase in the frequency and impact of ransomware attacks across public and private sectors, Attorney General Maura Healey is urging members of the business community and government entities, including law enforcement agencies, in Massachusetts to immediately assess their existing data security practices and take appropriate steps to upgrade security measures to protect their operations and consumer information.
- Backup your data, system images, and configurations,
regularly test them, and keep the backups offline: Ensure that backups are
regularly tested and that they are not connected to the business network,
as many ransomware variants try to find and encrypt or delete accessible
backups. Maintaining current backups offline is critical because if your
network data is encrypted with ransomware, your organization can restore
systems.
- Update and patch systems promptly: This includes
maintaining the security of operating systems, applications, and firmware,
in a timely manner. Consider using a centralized patch management system;
use a risk-based assessment strategy to drive your patch management
program.
- Test your incident response plan: There’s nothing that
shows the gaps in plans more than testing them. Run through some core
questions and use those to build an incident response plan: Are you able
to sustain business operations without access to certain systems? For how
long? Would you turn off your manufacturing operations if business systems
such as billing were offline?
- Check Your Security Team’s Work: Use a third party tester
to test the security of your systems and your ability to defend against a
sophisticated attack. Many ransomware criminals are aggressive and
sophisticated and will find the equivalent of unlocked doors.
- Segment
your networks:
There’s been a recent shift in ransomware attacks – from stealing data to
disrupting operations. It’s critically important that your corporate
business functions and manufacturing/production operations are separated
and that you carefully filter and limit internet access to operational
networks, identify links between these networks and develop workarounds or
manual controls to ensure industrial
control system (ICS) networks can be isolated and continue
operating if your corporate network is compromised. Regularly test
contingency plans such as manual controls so that safety critical
functions can be maintained during a cyber incident.
