For medical societies

A trial portal for your specialty, under your society's name

Give your members one trusted place to find trials in your disease areas, get regular evidence on the national trial landscape, and help more physicians take part in clinical research. You set the scope and scientific direction; we build, host and maintain the portal.

In practice

Example: cancertrials.be, built for the Belgian Society of Medical Oncology

An initiative of BSMO, designed, built and run by Esperity on TrialsConnect, and launched in 2026. Oncologists search trials by disease, centre, drug or molecule, or by uploading a clinical report, and contact the recruiting site directly.

  • Scope and scientific input from the society.
  • Trial status kept current by the participating centres.
  • Neutral listing, under the society's own name.

Trial landscape reports

Regular evidence on the trial landscape, for policy use

Periodic reports give your society a factual, dated picture of clinical research in your field, to support discussions with authorities, payers, hospitals and patient organisations.

  • Open trials by disease area, phase, region and type of sponsor, industry or academic.
  • Trends over time: new trials, closures and recruitment periods.
  • Access gaps: indications or regions with few or no open trials.
  • Frequency, scope and format agreed with your society.

Members in research

Help more members take part in clinical research

Make it easier for members, including those outside large research centres, to refer patients, join study teams and become investigators.

  • Members find open trials and the study contact in a few clicks.
  • Practical information for physicians new to trials: referral, sub-investigator and investigator roles.
  • Members can create a profile and choose whether sponsors may see it.
  • Your society can feature its own education and research initiatives on the portal.
A member's path into researchIllustrative
  • Find an open trial for a patient and the study contact
  • Refer a patient to a colleague's study
  • Learn how investigator and sub-investigator roles work
  • Join a study team as sub-investigator
  • Be found by sponsors, if they choose a visible profile
Each step lowers the threshold for members who are new to clinical research.

Collaboration between physicians

Stimulate collaboration and the sharing of trials

A shared, current view of who runs which trial helps members refer patients to each other and work together across centres.

  • See which colleague runs which trial, and at which centre.
  • Share trial summaries and referral steps with fellow members.
  • Reach the study team directly, without searching for the right contact.
  • Regional hospitals and academic centres connected in one network.

Attract new trials

Show sponsors what your country's centres can do

When centres keep their information current, your field has a credible, up-to-date picture of its research capacity. That helps bring new trials to your country.

  • Current trial activity and capabilities per centre, as reported by the sites.
  • Investigators who chose to be visible, by disease area.
  • Neutral by design: no sponsor can pay for a higher position, and the society keeps its independence.
  • Sponsors only see what centres and investigators chose to share.

How a society portal starts

  1. Agree the scope

    Disease areas, country, languages, reports and who reviews content.

  2. We pre-fill

    Trials are loaded from CTIS and ClinicalTrials.gov and structured for your specialty.

  3. Centres join

    Recruiting centres join free and keep their trial status current.

  4. Launch under your name

    Your members get one place to search, and your society receives its first landscape report.

Your society stays in charge

Independent, neutral and scientifically led.

  • Your scientific committee decides scope and content.
  • No sponsor can pay for a higher position in search results.
  • Non-promotional content, focused on the science.
  • Your society is data controller, with a data processing agreement and EU hosting.
  • No patient data is collected through the portal.

A portal for your specialty

Tell us your specialty and country. We show you cancertrials.be and how a portal for your society would work.
