Yesterday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its long-awaited draft guidance on Diversity Action Plans to Improve Enrollment of Participants from Underrepresented Populations in Clinical Studies.

Under FDORA, Diversity Action Plans will be required for Phase 3 or other pivotal trials for drugs and for most device clinical trials, although some Diversity Action Plans for device trials can be first submitted with a marketing application such as a premarket notification where an investigational device exemption (IDE) is not required for the trial.
