HOW TO FIND A
CLINICAL TRIAL

The search itself is the least difficult part of the trial-finding process. Starting it early enough that results are still actionable is what most patients get wrong.

Where to Look for Clinical Trials

  • ClinicalTrials.gov

    The primary registry for US-registered trials and most internationally registered programmes. Search by disease, molecular alteration, phase, location, and status. Always filter by Recruiting. The eligibility criteria section of each listing is the most important section to read.

  • EU Clinical Trials Register + WHO Platform

    EU registry covers European regulatory framework. WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform aggregates registries from multiple countries -- useful for programmes running outside the US and EU.

  • Patient Advocacy Organisations

    Disease-specific organisations increasingly employ trial navigators. These individuals know eligibility criteria in detail and often have direct relationships with trial sites. Far underused by patients who do not know this resource exists.

  • Academic Cancer Centre Specialists

    Oncologists embedded in active research programmes know which trials are running, which are closing, and which are genuinely promising for specific molecular profiles. Better than a registry for current, specific knowledge.
