What's New: Browse Before You Search

Five additions to help you understand the field, find the drug you're looking for, and get through the wizard faster.

June 1, 2026

TL;DR: ClinTrialFinder now lets you browse trials by cancer (10 new trial landscape pages showing what's actually being studied for your disease) or by drug (8 new drug pages, one per agent of patient interest), prefills the wizard from any landscape or blog page in one click, and asks for line of therapy first — so the treatment-history step is faster for patients who don't remember every drug. Plus four patient-focused previews of what's coming at ASCO 2026.

Browse by Cancer: Trial Landscape Pages

For ten cancers — pancreatic, NPC, multiple myeloma, cholangiocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal, melanoma, non-small-cell lung, breast, and prostate — there's now a trial landscape page that surveys the active trial field at a glance: which drug classes are being tested most (ADCs, immunotherapy, cell therapy, targeted), which sponsors are most active, which trials are in Phase 3 with their acronyms, and where the trials are geographically.

This is for the question that comes before "which trials match me?" — the question of "what's actually being tried for this disease right now?" Useful for patients who want to understand the field before running a personalized search, for caregivers building a mental map, and for second-opinion conversations with a new oncologist.

The landscape pages re-aggregate from the trial corpus daily, so the counts and Phase 3 lists stay current without manual upkeep.

Examples: /trials/breast-cancer/landscape, /trials/lung-cancer-nsclc/landscape, /trials/pancreatic-cancer/landscape.

One-Click from Cancer Page to Wizard

Every disease landscape page, all 36 regular disease pages, and our major blog posts now have a "Find Trials Matching Your Profile" button that opens the wizard with your cancer already selected. You skip step 1 and start on the medical-history questions.

The intent is to shorten the path from "I read something about this disease" to "I have a personalized list of trials." Three patients across May went from a ChatGPT-cited disease page to a completed search this way (HER2+ breast cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, cervical cancer).

Browse by Drug: Eight New Drug Pages

If you've heard about a specific drug from a doctor, a paper, or a news article and want to know which trials are actively recruiting for it, there's now a drug page for each. Each page shows the drug's mechanism, all active trials grouped by indication, and the Phase 3 trial acronyms patients can search for when they want to read further.

Eight drugs got pages in May:

A Faster Way to Tell Us Your Treatment History

The wizard's treatment-history step used to open with a long list of drug names — chemotherapies, immunotherapies, targeted therapies, hormone therapies — and ask you to tick the ones you've had. For patients who don't remember every drug, or who confuse similar-sounding names, it was the slowest and most error-prone step in the questionnaire.

The step now starts with a higher-level question: "What line of therapy are you currently on?" (treatment-naive, first-line, second-line, third-line, later-line). If that's all you remember, you can move on — the search already has enough to filter out trials that require a different line. If you do remember more, the step drills into treatment categories (immunotherapy, chemo, targeted, hormonal, etc.) with specific drugs listed inline under each category, and you expand only the categories that apply.

Wizard treatment-history step. Top: line-of-therapy options — treatment-naive, 1st or 2nd line (selected), heavily pretreated. Below: treatment category checkboxes (Surgery & Radiation, Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, Targeted Therapy, Other Therapies, I don't know / not sure) plus Other section with Clinical trial and Other (please specify).
Top: the new line-of-therapy question. Below: optional treatment categories that appear once you've picked an active line — expand only what you remember.

The result is a faster path for most patients and more accurate matching, because trials specify line-of-therapy eligibility much more reliably than they list every drug a patient might have received.

What's Coming at ASCO 2026

ASCO is the largest annual oncology conference, and the abstracts dropped in late May for the early-June meeting. We wrote four patient-focused previews — written for patients with the disease, not for oncologists — of what's worth watching:
