Livestreaming available via Zoom. The bioethics of racism focused research is a complex and multi-faceted issue that deserves thoughtful deliberation. From the historical context of racial bias in medical studies to current discrimination in regulation, racism has long been embedded in medical research.  To truly address the bioethical considerations of Racism-Focused research, Dr. Jenkins focused on over a decade of studying the “R word”: racism. What are the implications of Racism-Focused research from the perspective of a Black man in the Intelligencia?  1402 Blockley Hall, 423 Guardian Drive (and streaming via Zoom) Penn Medical Ethics

Penn Bioethics Seminar (PBS): TikTok or TrickTalk? Pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising on social media needs an update

Pharmaceutical direct-to-consumer advertising on social media needs an update Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Social Media Advertising   Sneha Dave Executive Director, Generation Patient Lunch is provided for in-person attendees. Livestreaming available via Zoom. Prescription medication advertisements directed at consumers have a murky history in the U.S. and as they transition increasingly to social media via influencers, the power of persuasion due to influencer endorsement is a significant concern. One of the most vulnerable groups are adolescents and young adults with chronic conditions, yet regulation and guidance surrounding advertisements on emerging platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have not caught up to the evolution of these evolving advertisements. This lecture will include the current landscape of prescription drug advertisements on TikTok and Instagram, as well as recommendations for regulatory agencies, legislative bodies, social media companies, and pharmaceutical companies.  Hybrid!

Research Ethics and Policy Series (REPS): Representation of Adolescents and Young Adults in Clinical Trials

Learn More 2023-04-12 12:00:00 2023-04-12 13:00:00 America/New_York Research Ethics and Policy Series (REPS): Representation of Adolescents and Young Adults in Clinical Trials Including Adolescents and Young Adults Within Clinical Trials   Sneha Dave Executive Director, Generation Patient Lunch is provided for in-person attendees. Livestreaming available via Zoom. Clinical care has long treated young adults similarly to their older counterparts, despite mounting evidence that young adults experience different outcomes. As such, the momentum to increase diversity in clinical trials should ensure the inclusion and analysis of adolescents and young adult patients. The urgency to proactively address adolescents and young adults as a unique population within clinical trials has become increasingly apparent as disease diagnosis at earlier ages becomes more common. Furthermore, in many disease areas, the younger the person is living with the disease, the more aggressive the disease, thus drug disposition and safety signals may be different. This highlights the need for targeted clinical trials that are representative of young adults with these conditions. By increasing the representation of young adults in clinical trials, we can improve their outcomes and work towards creating a more equitable healthcare system. The lack of adequate subgroup analysis especially when looking at systems such as the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System exacerbates the issue. Additionally, by including young adults in the drug development process, we can gain a better understanding of the unique challenges they face and tailor treatments accordingly.
