TrialsForMe puts the world's largest clinical trial registry into plain language — free, in seven languages, built for patients first. WHAT IT DOES • Search by condition, place, and how far you would travel • Read any study in your own language — English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Japanese — with the official English always preserved • Plain-word pages about hundreds of conditions and the treatments already in use • Check if you might qualify: a guided interview built from the study's own published criteria, with AI explanations of the medical terms when you want them • Send your screening answers to a research site — anonymously if you prefer, in your language and in English together • Follow a condition and be told when a new study opens near you • Keep profiles for the people you care for — a spouse and a parent each get their own WHAT IT COSTS Nothing. Searching is free, accounts are free, and there is no advertising. Patients are never charged and never sold. WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM Studies are drawn daily from ClinicalTrials.gov, the U.S. National Library of Medicine registry — more than 260,000 studies at nearly 500,000 research sites worldwide. TrialsForMe is not medical advice. Nothing here decides anything about you: only a study's own team can determine who qualifies, and your own doctor is always the right source for your situation.
