What's New: Faster Results, Smarter Matching
Four improvements that help you find the right clinical trials sooner.
Faster Search
Waiting half an hour for trial results isn't practical when you're making treatment decisions. We rebuilt how ClinTrialFinder processes searches so that multiple trials are evaluated at the same time rather than one by one.
The result: most searches now finish in 5 to 15 minutes. Complex cases with hundreds of candidate trials take a bit longer, but even these are significantly faster than before.
Better Filtering
ClinTrialFinder has always filtered out non-treatment studies—observational, diagnostic, and screening trials that don't offer a new therapy. But some slipped through, especially studies with mixed designs or ambiguous descriptions.
We've improved this filtering so it catches more of these edge cases. The result: fewer irrelevant studies in your results.
Cross-Cancer Drug Signals
Some immunotherapy drugs that were developed for one cancer type are now being tested in others. If a checkpoint inhibitor is showing strong results in melanoma trials, that may matter to you even if you have a different cancer.
ClinTrialFinder now identifies these cross-cancer signals and factors them into how your results are ranked. Trials testing drugs with promising data from other tumor types are highlighted so you can discuss them with your oncologist.
Remission-Aware Matching
If you're currently in remission, most active-treatment trials aren't relevant to you—they're designed for patients with measurable disease. Previously, ClinTrialFinder would still return these trials, leaving you to sort through results that didn't apply.
Now, when you indicate that you're in remission, the system adjusts its matching to focus on maintenance therapies, surveillance studies, and trials specifically designed for patients in remission. Fewer irrelevant results, less time wasted.
