HBV clinical trials: who were the participants and who should be?

Hi, Jack, thank you! It is shocking to see there are so many unknowns regarding the basic demographic information in today’s clinical trials, even though it has been well-recognised that biological differences exist between different populations. It would be reasonable to conclude that there are almost no African participants in these trials from looking at the trial-conducting locations (there’s only one trial recruited people in Africa), but the lack of direct data evidence would still make it hard to call for awareness of equity. We will submit it for academic publication soon!
