• ClinicalTrials.gov provides patients, family members, health care professionals, and members of the public easy access to information on clinical trials for a wide range of diseases and conditions. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), through its National Library of Medicine, has developed this site in close and ongoing collaboration with all NIH Institutes and the Food and Drug Administration. This site currently contains searchable information on approximately 5,000 clinical studies sponsored primarily by the NIH. This is a completely confidential Web site. No registration or personal identification of any kind is required. People who search the site will not be contacted by the sponsors of clinical trials or by anyone else.
• ClinicalTrials.com is an Internet resource for finding clinical trials in the United States and Canada. Our site also provides thousands of local and national organizations that are associated with specific illnesses. We hope to help educate potential trial volunteers on clinical trials as well as help researchers find new participants for their research.
