(1)</description><dictionary></dictionary><outcome></outcome><accomplishment>Findings from these studies will inform on participation of women in clinical trials as well as analysis for safety and efficacy in women vs. men. These determinations will subsequently address women’s treatment needs, and optimize the risk benefit ratio. Findings from funded studies will expand the knowledge base with regard to sex differences in disease prevalence and response to treatment. This will subsequently inform labeling and catalyze further research to understand sex differences and women’s health issues.</accomplishment><free-text></free-text><table><title></title><free-text-table></free-text-table><overall-status><briefing></briefing><prior-briefing></prior-briefing></overall-status><row><type></type><milestone-description>1.
