Across all trials, females made up 47.3 % of enrollees [3316 out of 7016 total enrollees]. Enrollment of males exceeded females in 44 of the 65 trials studied, females outnumbered males in 19 trials, and enrollment was equal between the sexes in 2 trials. While the sex distribution observed across all trials represents an equitable representation of enrollees, the wide variance of sex distribution at the level of individual trials has the potential to limit the generalizability of results.
