Representation in Clinical Studies

Amgen works to advance clinical research to reflect disease burden across populations and communities. Amgen is dedicated to the development of potential new drugs through clinical studies, with representation of people who are affected by the condition being studied. By advancing representative clinical research through population understanding, community engagement, and bringing research to where people already go for care, we are working toward a future where clinical evidence reflects all populations affected by a disease.

Why does representation in clinical research matter?

When some groups are underrepresented there is a risk of collecting insufficient data to assess effectiveness or safety in those populations.

Racial, ethnic, sex, and age, in combination with other interdependent factors, can contribute to differences in drug exposure or response.

Advancing clinical research that reflects real-world populations affected by disease is integral to achieving better health impact for patients.

Amgen is working to build community partnerships to improve awareness of clinical research and what it means to participate. We also work to align research with how and where healthcare is delivered and to build long-term research capacity.

Clinical Research Transparency and Privacy

Clinical study transparency means making study information and study results easier to find and understand. We want to bring accessible information about Amgen's clinical studies to patients, investigators, and healthcare communities.

  • We aim to ensure that our research practices are transparent, responsible, and fully compliant with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
  • We commit to the PhRMA/EFPIA and IFPMA Principles for Responsible Clinical Trial Data Sharing.
  • We have dedicated and trained staff for the purposes of timely registration of clinical trials, communication of research results, and publication of Amgen-sponsored studies.
  • We collaborate with external medical and scientific researchers to advance clinical research and enhance public health.

Amgen is committed to sharing the results of clinical studies with the general public and study participants. Plain language summaries share study results in every language used during the study. Plain language summaries, which provide easy-to-understand summaries of study outcomes, are also available on Trial Results Summaries.

Safety and Ethical Oversight

Patient safety is of the utmost importance. This includes study review, informed consent, safety monitoring, and ways to report health concerns during a study. Our approach to safety monitoring (also called pharmacovigilance, or finding and preventing patient safety events and other medicine-related problems) is rooted in rigorous science and data analytics, robust operating processes, and an in-depth understanding of global regulations.

Amgen is dedicated to the safety of all study participants. We are also dedicated to establishing, monitoring, and communicating the safety of our products throughout their life span.
