In the past, clinical trials often excluded diverse ethnic groups, resulting in studies that were primarily composed of Caucasian males. Additionally, there was not enough attention given to identifying the varying effects that drugs had on different ethnic groups. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are all correct. Choice D is not correct, as research has shown that different ethnic groups can have varying responses to drugs. Choice E is also not correct, as the majority of clinical trials did not necessarily include Caucasian females.
