Why Equi Sciences
Drugs tested on white people that don’t work on white patients
Efavirenz, an ARV medication commonly used to treat HIV also caused serious psychiatric disorders in patients, including depression, paranoia, and suicidal thoughts.
While these complications are occasionally seen in AIDS patients of European and Asian origin, we now know that Black Africans are genetically more susceptible to these adverse effects.
Although older Black Americans have twice the rate of dementia as whites, they were screened out of clinical trials of these drugs at a higher rate, according to interviews with 10 researchers as well as 4 Eisai and Lilly executives.
Equi Sciences is revolutionizing the world of clinical research and drug development. We are dedicated to pushing boundaries and driving innovation by embracing diversity. Recognizing the importance of inclusivity in clinical trials, we are committed to ensuring the safety, efficacy, and relevancy of medical treatments.
