CANCER RESEARCH ONLINE MADE EASY

There are 2 other sites that you should search and the concept is similar although the details of how to do the searches do vary somewhat. And, unfortunately, on these sites there is no support available. I’ll briefly describe how to search on these sites as well.

ClinicalTrials.Gov

The next site is another US government site. In the future all clinical trials will be registered at this site by law but, at present, there are still some studies that are not listed here.

CLINICAL TRIALS.GOV

Here is the home page: www.clinicaltrials.gov

clinicaltrials.gov

As I explained before, I think it is more helpful to immediately do the advanced search. Here the advanced search is called Focused Search and is seen in the Search within Specific Fields listing:

Click on Focused Search:

As you can see, the search boxes here don’t allow as much detail. For example, there is no specific box for the stage of the disease and there is no specific box for the type of trial (remember, we’re interested in treatment trials).

So, to search this site I suggest putting the type of cancer and the stage separated by the word AND. Here I’ve entered breast cancer and stage 2.

And, since we are interested in trials in New York City, I’ve entered New York in the city box.
