Clinical Trials Search (ClinicalTrials.gov)

Search and monitor clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov by condition, term, sponsor, or status. Phases, enrollment, sponsors, locations, and dates.

What it does

• Searches the official ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API (no API key needed).
• Filters by full-text term, condition or disease, sponsor, and overall status.
• Exports clean, flat records to a dataset plus an aggregate summary in OUTPUT.
• Paginates automatically until it reaches your item limit or runs out of matches.

Input

At least one of searchTerm, condition, or sponsor is required.

Field	Type	Description
searchTerm	string	Full-text search across titles, descriptions, interventions, and keywords.
condition	string	Condition or disease the trials study (for example "melanoma", "type 2 diabetes").
sponsor	string	Sponsor or collaborator name (for example "Pfizer").
statuses	array	Overall statuses to include: RECRUITING, NOT_YET_RECRUITING, ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION, ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING, COMPLETED, SUSPENDED, TERMINATED, WITHDRAWN, UNKNOWN. Empty means any status.

Example input, recruiting melanoma trials:

{
  "condition": "melanoma",
  "statuses": ["RECRUITING"],
  "maxItems": 50
}

Output

Each dataset item is one trial:

{
  "nctId": "NCT07086105",
  "url": "https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07086105",
  "title": "A Study to Evaluate Adze1.C in Participants With Metastatic Melanoma",
  "officialTitle": "A Phase 1, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics and Preliminary Efficacy of Intratumoural Adze1.C in Participants With Metastatic Melanoma",
  "status": "RECRUITING",
  "phases": ["PHASE1"],
  "studyType": "INTERVENTIONAL",
  "conditions": ["Metastatic Melanoma"],
  "interventions": [{ "type": "DRUG", "name": "Adze1.C" }],
  "leadSponsor": "Adze Biotechnology Australia Pty Ltd",
  "sponsorClass": "INDUSTRY",

  "startDate": "2025-10-01",
  "completionDate": "2028-10-01",

}

The run's default key-value store record OUTPUT holds an aggregate summary:

{
  "query": { "searchTerm": null, "condition": "melanoma", "sponsor": null, "statuses": ["RECRUITING"] },
  "totalMatched": 473,
  "returned": 50,
  "requestedMaxItems": 50,
  "statusBreakdown": { "RECRUITING": 50 },
  "generatedFrom": "https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2/studies"

Data source

The Actor calls the official ClinicalTrials.gov API v2 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2/studies), maintained by the US National Library of Medicine. The API is public and keyless. Requests are paginated at 100 studies per page; network errors and rate limit or server errors are retried with backoff.
