No Ordinary Subjects
Welcome to 'No Ordinary Subjects,' a new health, medicine, and clinical research-focused podcast with a mission of shining a bright light on overlooked issues and underrepresented perspectives. Here, we aim to explore the facets and implications of diversity, equity and inclusion from the perspectives of all stakeholders. From those providing care across specialties, to individuals working tirelessly to bring new therapies to market, and the medical heroes who decide to participate in clinical trials.

No Ordinary Subjects
VOICE-ACTIVATED - A Regulatory Reckoning of Authentic Engagement in Clinical Trials
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this follow-up to my keynote presentation at the meeting of the North Carolina Regulatory Affairs Forum (NCRAF) in conjunction with the Triangle Chapter of the ACRP, I’m reflecting— full-chested and unfiltered— on what it means to be voice-activated in an ecosystem that still hasn’t gotten the memo. Among other themes, I’m talking about the fallacy of “coercion” when it comes to compensating participants. I’m calling out the lazy copy/paste of outdated inclusion/exclusion criteria that keep too many out—and keep our data from ever being truly equitable or personalized. I’m challenging regulatory professionals to take action with something as simple and impactful as a “find and replace” to retire the word subject once and for all.
This isn’t just critique. It’s a call to courage. A love letter to those of us who’ve been in the research chair— and a charge to those in power to shift how we show up.
This was only the tip of the iceberg… and now it’s time to melt what’s been frozen far too long. Get the 'voice-activated' t-shirt to demonstrate your intentions. Read my 'Equity 'N Action' newsletter article on LinkedIn on the same topic. Still more at www.allisonkalloo.me.
