On July 20, 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS)—in collaboration with Disability Solutions—announced the launch of the Disability Diversity in Clinical Trials (DDiCT) initiative as part of its mission to address health disparities, clinical trial and supplier diversity, employee giving, and workforce representation between 2020 and 2025. 

The DDiCT initiative initially aims to make recommendations on how to effectively improve access, engagement, speed of enrollment, and participation of people with disabilities in clinical trials, to ensure all patient groups are reflective of the real-world population and aligned with the epidemiology of the disease studies.
