Most of the world's cancer patients live in countries that host almost no registrational trials. Including sites there, and paying to build them up, would make results apply globally and speed local access.
Regulators and funders expect global pivotal trials to include a minimum share of sites in low- and middle-income countries, with sponsors funding site capacity (training, pharmacy, imaging, data systems) that persists after the trial. Post-trial access to the drug in participating countries is a condition. Latin American and Indian networks have demonstrated high-quality accrual; African oncology trial infrastructure is the least developed and would be prioritised.
