Clinical Trial Databases
We have curated trusted global databases to help you quickly identify active clinical trials relevant to your diagnosis
Mastering Search Filters
Effective research begins with the right parameters. Understanding how to use database filters allows you to navigate thousands of clinical trials to find the most relevant options for your specific medical journey.
Condition
Refine your search by entering your exact diagnosis. Adding clinical details like stage or specific biomarkers can help filter for trials designed for your unique profile.
Location
Access care close to home. Filter by zip code and set a travel radius to identify trials at nearby institutions, reducing the logistical burden of treatment.
Trial Phase
Understand the stage of research. Phase 1 trials focus on safety, while Phase 2 and 3 evaluate how effective a treatment is for a larger group of patients.
Status
Look for 'Recruiting' or 'Enrolling by Invitation' to find trials currently open for new patients. This ensures you are viewing active and available opportunities.
Understanding Eligibility
Eligibility criteria are the specific requirements patients must meet to participate in a clinical trial. These guidelines ensure patient safety and provide researchers with reliable, scientific data. Understanding these factors is a crucial step in discovering if a new treatment is the right path for you.

Clinical Trial Phases Explained
Phase 1
Phase 1 trials explore the safety and best dosage of a new treatment. These studies typically involve a small group of 15 to 30 patients. You can expect very frequent monitoring by the research team to ensure your safety as they determine how the body responds to the treatment and identify potential side effects.
Phase 2
Phase 2 trials focus on whether a new treatment works for a specific type of cancer. These studies usually involve fewer than 100 people. Patients in this phase receive the specific dosage found to be safest in Phase 1, helping doctors understand the treatment's effectiveness while continuing to watch for any new side effects.
Phase 3
Phase 3 trials compare the new treatment with the current standard of care. These large-scale studies involve hundreds or even thousands of patients across multiple locations. In this phase, you will likely be randomly assigned to either a group receiving the new treatment or one receiving the current standard option.
