Medicines for everyone.

At the heart of new medical breakthroughs, clinical research studies are the steppingstones to investigational treatments with the potential to change lives.

But it's not just about finding new medicines; it's about ensuring they work for everyone who needs them. That's where diversity in clinical trials becomes not just important but essential.

The need for Diversity in clinical trials.

Why is diversity essential, you ask?

It's simple: our unique backgrounds—our age, gender, race, and ethnicity—can influence how we respond to medications.

When people from diverse communities participate in clinical research, they contribute to a richer understanding of a drug's effects.  Armed with this knowledge, our aim is to pave the way for innovative investigational treatments for people of all backgrounds.

Takeda is dedicated to reaching out to every corner of our community because we believe in research that better reflects the real world.

We're intentional about setting up clinical trial sites in diverse neighborhoods. We believe research should reflect the real world.

Collaboration is key, and that's why Takeda partners with various advocacy groups.

We're building bridges, connecting patients and researchers to foster a space where questions are welcomed, and information is shared openly. We're committed to knocking down barriers to participation, whether they're financial, geographical, or logistical, offering support like travel reimbursement, caregiver assistance, and even at-home study visits whenever possible.

When you choose to participate in a clinical trial, it is more than just a contribution to science—it's a step towards inclusive healthcare, where treatments are designed with every community in mind.

If you're curious about how you can be part of this inclusive journey in clinical research, join us. Help shape the future of medicine—a future where everyone has a seat at the table.

Medicines, not mystery.

Understanding clinical trials could be easier. WeConnect is hoping to help.

Let’s be real, considering a clinical trial can seem daunting with complex medical terms and unknown outcomes.  It's normal to feel a blend of hope and hesitation. But remember, this path isn't just about navigating personal health challenges; it's about contributing to advances for future care. 

WeConnect is here to simplify the journey and make this experience empowering. Together, we'll transform the unknown into opportunity by keeping you informed on trials that match your health needs so that you can have further conversations with your healthcare provider.  Patients, caregivers, and advocates can discover clinical trials, and contribute to the collective effort of advancing medical science.

By participating in Takeda clinical trials, you become part of a larger movement aimed at discovering potential medicines and improving outcomes for future generations.
