ClinicalTrials.gov is the website where clinical trials are recorded and where you can find important information about each trial. The details we provide about each clinical trial on Metastatic Trial Search (MTS) are based on information from ClinicalTrials.gov. Our team rewrites the often complex trial information in plain language to make the trial’s title, purpose, treatment plan, and who is eligible easier to understand. Each MTS trial summary has a link directly to the full trial details on ClinicalTrials.gov for anyone who is interested in learning more. We also link directly to the eligibility criteria section on ClinicalTrials.gov if you wish to see the full list of inclusion and exclusion criteria to learn more about whether you are eligible for that trial.
