Clinical Trials Scraper

What does Clinical Trials Scraper do?

Clinical Trials Scraper enables you to extract actionable business development data from ClinicalTrials.gov more efficiently than manual research. It identifies actively recruiting drug trials sponsored by commercial biotech and pharma companies, then enriches sponsor data with verified contact information for BD and clinical operations professionals.

Clinical Trials Scraper can scrape:

• Active drug trial information including trial ID, condition, phase, and sponsor details
• Commercial biotech and pharmaceutical sponsor data (academic institutions and hospitals are automatically filtered out)
• Company domain, industry classification, and employee count information
• BD and clinical operations contact names, titles, and verified email addresses
• Contact LinkedIn profiles and email verification status

Why scrape ClinicalTrials.gov?

ClinicalTrials.gov hosts data on hundreds of thousands of clinical trials and is the authoritative source for trial information in the United States. It's an invaluable resource for business development professionals, contract research organizations, and biotech service providers looking to identify partnership and sales opportunities.

Here are just some of the ways you could use this data:

• Identify biotech and pharma companies actively running trials in your therapeutic area
• Build targeted outreach lists for BD, partnerships, and clinical operations teams
• Find decision-makers and contacts within sponsor organizations for direct outreach
• Monitor competitive trial activity and pipeline intelligence
• Research potential customers for clinical trial services, equipment, and software solutions
• Analyze industry trends and sponsorship patterns across therapeutic areas
