What Trial Friend is

Trial Friend is a search tool that helps patients and caregivers find clinical trials listed on ClinicalTrials.gov and understand their eligibility criteria in plain language. We pull data directly from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

What Trial Friend is not

Trial Friend is not a medical service, healthcare provider, or clinical trial recruiter. We do not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, recommend treatments, or enroll patients in clinical trials. We are a search and translation tool only.

Medical disclaimer

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or clinical trial participation.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on Trial Friend.

AI-generated content

The "Translate to plain English" feature uses artificial intelligence to simplify clinical trial eligibility criteria. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated translations may contain errors, oversimplifications, or omissions. Always refer to the original eligibility criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov and consult your healthcare provider before making decisions about trial participation.

Data accuracy

Trial data is sourced from ClinicalTrials.gov and is updated in real time. However, trial status, eligibility criteria, and other details can change at any time. We cannot guarantee that all information displayed is current or complete. Always verify trial details directly with the trial sponsor or site.

You may use Trial Friend for personal, non-commercial purposes to search for and learn about clinical trials. You may not scrape, crawl, or systematically access the service in an automated manner. You may not use the service to collect personal information about other users.

Limitation of liability

Trial Friend is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We are not liable for any decisions you make based on information found through our service, including decisions about clinical trial participation.
