How it works

From registry record to a trial you can act on

Registered is not the same as open. TrialsConnect starts from the public registries and lets participating centres keep their own trial status current, with every change logged.

One trial, two views. Centre names, statuses and contacts are invented to show the difference between a registry list and a centre-confirmed list.

Three steps

  1. Collect

    Trials registered in the EU Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) and on ClinicalTrials.gov, refreshed.

  2. Curate locally

    AI extracts disease, subtype, line of therapy, biomarkers, phase and sites. Our team reviews entries against the public registries. Participating centres correct site status, and every change is logged.

  3. Deliver

    A trial portal under a trusted local name, a free hospital workspace, and trial intelligence for sponsors, all from the same curated data.

Who keeps the status current

Three routes, depending on who is on the platform.

Hospital trial overview
1 / 3
  • Participating centres keep their own trial status current, with every change logged.
  • Sponsors approve site status requests in the platform; approved changes go live within an agreed timeframe.
  • Where a sponsor is not on the platform, the centre asks the sponsor to update CTIS or ClinicalTrials.gov, and TrialsConnect follows the central update.

Country by country

Live today: Belgium. Search across CTIS and ClinicalTrials.gov works for all of Europe.

  1. A local host

    A medical society or partner hosts the public portal under its own name.

  2. Centres join

    Recruiting centres join free and keep their trial status current.

  3. Local languages

    The same engine and the same CTIS and ClinicalTrials.gov base, in the local languages.

  4. Local compliance check

    Checked before launch, because the rules differ per country.

  5. Sponsor intelligence

    Available for that country once coverage is meaningful.

Neutral by design

Search results stay neutral. No sponsor can pay for a higher position.
