How to Approach a Trial Listing
Each trial card above links to a dedicated page with the official ClinicalTrials.gov data plus a plain-English translation of the eligibility criteria. We translate technical terminology (ECOG performance status, hepatic function values, exclusionary lab thresholds) into language that a patient or caregiver can understand, but the original clinical text and the live ClinicalTrials.gov record always govern any actual eligibility decision.
Before contacting a trial site, write down questions for your treating physician using the framework on our 25 Questions guide. Discuss whether the trial fits your treatment plan, what the time commitment looks like, and whether your insurance will cover the standard-of-care portions. Trials are not a substitute for a treatment plan — they are an addition that needs medical guidance to evaluate.

What does the trial phase mean?
Phase 1 trials test safety and dosing in small groups (often 20–80 healthy volunteers or patients). Phase 2 trials evaluate efficacy and side effects in larger groups (100–300 patients with the target condition). Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and monitor safety in the largest groups (300–3,000+ patients) and form the basis of an FDA approval submission. Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment is approved, monitoring long-term safety and effectiveness in real-world use. Some trials register without a phase — common for device, behavioral, or observational studies.
Where does this trial data come from?
All trial data is pulled directly from the ClinicalTrials.gov API v2, the official federal trial registry maintained by the National Library of Medicine at NIH. Under FDAAA 801, most U.S. drug and device trials are required to register, making ClinicalTrials.gov the most comprehensive source. Sponsors are responsible for keeping their listings current; trial status can shift between data refreshes.
