Clinical Trial Navigator-clinical trial finder tool

Example

A 45-year-old lung cancer patient in an advanced stage might not be responding well to standard chemotherapy. After providing their details such as age, treatment history, stage of disease, and any co-existing conditions, Clinical Trial Navigator searches available databases to find trials specifically designed for patients with that profile, particularly those testing new chemotherapy drugs or targeted therapies.

Scenario

This function ensures that the patient is aware of cutting-edge trials that offer innovative treatments when conventional methods have failed. By providing direct contact information for trial coordinators, it simplifies patient access to experimental treatments.

Example

A diabetic breast cancer patient might be ineligible for certain trials due to co-morbid conditions. Clinical Trial Navigator would analyze the inclusion/exclusion criteria of each trial to only suggest trials where the patient is likely to qualify. For instance, a clinical trial testing immunotherapy for breast cancer might exclude patients with uncontrolled diabetes, but the navigator filters out these trials in advance.

Scenario

This helps patients avoid wasting time pursuing trials for which they may not be eligible, streamlining their search process to only trials where they have the best chance of being accepted.

Example

A European patient with ovarian cancer wants to explore clinical trials in both Europe and the U.S. Clinical Trial Navigator searches both European and U.S.-based clinical trial registries (e.g., clinicaltrials.gov and the EU Clinical Trials Register) to offer a broader range of opportunities.

Scenario

Patients seeking global options, especially in rare diseases or complex cancers, benefit from this function by gaining access to a wider range of trial possibilities, increasing their chances of finding a suitable experimental treatment.
