Principal investigator gender and clinical trial success: analysis of over 3000 obstetrics and gynecology trials
Women investigators lead approximately half of OBGYN clinical trials in the US. Women-led trials discontinue less frequently, publish at similar rates, and include data on diversity more frequently than men-led trials. Women are as successful as men in conducting clinical trials and, in certain domains, more successful. Our findings place the impetus on the OBGYN professional ecosystem to support women's academic careers.
