How It Works
From search to screening in four steps.
TrialConnect connects you with actively recruiting clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov. Choose the path that fits you below.
Search your condition
Use the search bar or "I'm a Patient" button to enter your condition, disease, or symptom. TrialConnect will fuzzy-match your search to the right clinical terms — you don't need to know the exact medical name.
- Type naturally — "lung cancer" works just as well as "NSCLC"
- Browse by disease category if you're not sure what to search
- Filter by phase, location, and more
Review your matches
TrialConnect shows you actively recruiting trials matched to your search. Each trial card includes plain-English details:
- What the trial is testing
- Who can participate (eligibility)
- Which phase it's in
- Where the nearest sites are
- UK site count (if applicable)
Contact the research site
Every trial card includes direct contact details — phone number, email, or both. Reach out to the nearest site to express interest. No intermediary or registration needed.
- Contact info is shown for each trial location
- You can copy trial details to share with your doctor
- TrialConnect never contacts sites on your behalf
Get screened and enrolled
The research site team will confirm whether you meet the eligibility criteria and walk you through the informed consent process. This includes:
- A screening visit (blood tests, physical exam, medical history)
- Detailed explanation of what participation involves
- A consent form to sign if you decide to proceed
Browse paid studies
Click "Paid Research" or "Find Studies" to see compensated studies currently recruiting healthy volunteers. Filter by type, location, and stay length.
Check eligibility
Each study lists requirements — typically healthy adults aged 18–55, non-smokers, within a BMI range. Review the details to see if you qualify.
Apply or register interest
Contact the research unit directly using the details provided. Many units have their own online registration process. TrialConnect gives you the links and phone numbers.
Screening and participation
You'll attend a free medical screening. If accepted, you'll be given a schedule (typically 1–4 overnight stays plus follow-ups). Compensation is paid after completion. You can leave at any time.
Define clinical criteria
Use the "I'm a Clinician" search to enter condition, biomarkers, line of therapy, prior treatments, and trial phase preferences. The clinician workflow surfaces structured data for clinical decision-making.
Review trial designs
See trial structure — randomised, blinded, crossover, open-label — along with enrollment targets, PI details, and site locations.
Assess eligibility for your patient
Full inclusion/exclusion criteria are displayed including organ function requirements, performance status needs, biomarker specifications, and prior therapy restrictions.
