Clinical Trial Finder

It can be confusing and overwhelming to understand which clinical trial may be best for you or your loved one. Our Clinical Trial Finder helps ease this difficult process for patients and caregivers.

Through NBTS’s Clinical Trial Finder, you can search for clinical trials and receive tailored results based on your or your loved one’s location, diagnosis, tumor grade, biomarkers, and treatment history. From there, you can take potential clinical trial options with you to discuss with your or your loved one’s health care team. Refer to our FAQs below for more information about using this platform.

The AI quickly reviews thousands of clinical trials across four major registries to identify those that might fit a patient’s needs. It analyzes each trial’s eligibility requirements, including patient diagnosis, past treatments, and health factors that allow or prevent participation. The platform matches these criteria to the anonymous answers you provide in the questionnaire. You receive a short list of trials, ranked by how well they match your responses.
