Looking for Clinical Trials?

ClinicalTrials.gov has launched a new interface to improve navigation. This is its first big change since 2000. ClinicalTrials.gov is the NLM-developed Web-based registry of clinical research studies.

"It provides patients, clinicians, researchers, and other members of the general public with access to information about interventional and observational studies including clinical trials of drugs, devices and other interventions. As of August 2007, ClinicalTrials.gov contained over 44,000 clinical research studies in all fifty states and in 150 countries."

Now a search box with four navigation links at the top right of each page has replaced the menu bar, allowing new searches for studies to be launched at any time. New features provide users with different options to display results lists and study information based on their needs.
