The directory is updated on a continual basis in order to reflect trials which have just been opened and those that have been closed.

PERSONALIZED PATIENT DASHBOARD

Features include:

Profile Preferences - Personalize your profile age, height, location, conditions, and trial phase. You can also designate if you are a smoker or not, and whether you are a healthy volunteer (you don't have to be sick to participate in clinical trials)

Trial Requests - This is a comprehensive record of all the trials for which a patient has applied. Suggestions become more personalized as the number of trials applied for increases.

Related Trials - Other trials that patients may be interested in applying for based on their profile information (age range, location and specified conditions).

Nearby Facilities - Displays all the facilities within 50 miles of the patient’s given zip code. Patients can click on any facility name to go directly to their page.
