For anyone in the DC area interested in hearing from FDA staff, drug companies and advocacy groups about the criteria that affect who gets into clinical trials and who doesn't (hint: think "co-morbid conditions", "prior history of TBI", "lacking study partner to verify daily living skills") here's an upcoming public conference in D.C:
Public Workshop: Evaluating Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria in Clinical Trials
The 11:00 AM talk is: Presentation: Inclusion of Older Adults and Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions, and includes panelist Meryl Comer, from Us Against Alzheimer’s
