Clinical trials, without the paperwork and the middlemen.

450k+ studies · Live from ClinicalTrials.gov · Updated hourly
Clinical trial search that actually works for real people.
Most trial-matching sites exist to route your contact info to a handful of sponsors. We built the opposite of that — a plain tool for finding what's actually available, with AI that makes the hard parts legible.
An AI that actually reads the protocol for you.
Describe your situation in plain language — "my mom has stage 3 ovarian cancer near Philly" — and we parse condition, location, and age for you. Then, on every trial, AI rewrites the eligibility criteria into a simple checklist so you can tell in ten seconds whether you'd qualify. No medical degree required.
Every US trial. One search.
450,000+ studies, pulled live from the ClinicalTrials.gov public API — the same registry the FDA uses. No hidden list, no pay-to-rank.
We don't sell your data.
TrialPath isn't lead-gen. You contact each trial's site directly from the listing. We take no referral fees and never share your email with sponsors.
Browse without an account.
Search, filter, and read every trial with zero signup. Make an account only if you want to save studies or get an email when new ones open up.
Find treatment, or get paid to help.
Patients use Help mode to find trials that might treat their condition. Healthy adults use Earn mode to browse paid Phase 1 and bioequivalence studies — often $500–$5,000 per study.
The others exist to sell your info. We exist to find you a trial.
Most visitors reach us from one of two places — a lead-gen broker site that dressed up ClinicalTrials.gov with a signup wall, or the raw registry itself. Here's how we stack up against both.

"Lead-gen brokers" refers to the category of sites that front ClinicalTrials.gov with a contact form and sell the resulting leads to sponsors. We're not naming names — the point is the business model, not any single operator.
