EU CTIS Clinical Trials Scraper — European Drug Trial Registry API

Extract authorised clinical trials from the EU Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS) — the single official registry of clinical trials run under the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (536/2014) across all EU and EEA member states. CTIS replaced the legacy EudraCT register and is the authoritative, legally-mandated source of European drug-trial transparency data.

This Actor turns the CTIS public portal into clean, structured JSON, CSV, or Excel you can drop straight into a competitive-intelligence pipeline, a pharma BD tracker, or a RAG knowledge base.

What you get

Every record is a clinical trial with the fields pharma, biotech, and CRO teams actually care about:

Field	Description
ctNumber	Official CTIS trial number (e.g. 2025-523726-40-00)
title	Full scientific trial title
shortTitle	Sponsor protocol code / short title
conditions	Medical condition(s) under study
sponsor	Trial sponsor (company or institution)
sponsorType	Pharmaceutical company, hospital, academic, etc.
trialPhase	Phase I / II / III / IV classification
product	Investigational medicinal product(s)
therapeuticAreas	MeSH-style therapeutic area classification
trialCountries	Member states running the trial
ageGroup, gender	Eligibility population
totalNumberEnrolled	Planned subject enrollment
primaryEndPoint, endPoint	Primary and full endpoint definitions
decisionDate	Authorisation decision date
ctStatusCode	CTIS lifecycle status code

Why this matters

A single competitor pipeline signal — a rival starting a Phase III in your indication — is worth far more than the pennies this Actor costs. Use it to:

• Track competitor pipelines by sponsor, product, or therapeutic area
• Source investigators and sites for trial recruitment
• Monitor an indication (e.g. every new multiple sclerosis trial) as it is authorised
• Feed BD/CI dashboards and LLM research agents with fresh, structured trial data

How to scrape EU CTIS clinical trials

1. Click Try for free.
2. Leave the input empty to pull the most recently authorised trials, or set a filter:
   • Keyword — free-text across title, sponsor, product, and condition (e.g. cancer immunotherapy).
   • Medical Condition — precise disease filter (e.g. diabetes, breast cancer).
   • Max Results — cap the run, or set 0 for everything that matches.
3. Click Start and download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel when the run finishes.

Example input

{
  "medicalCondition": "breast cancer",
  "maxResults": 500

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You pay a small amount per trial record returned, plus standard Apify platform compute. A typical filtered run of a few hundred trials costs only a few cents — far cheaper than a CTIS analyst license or manual portal exports.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The official CTIS public API at euclinicaltrials.eu. Only publicly published, transparency-disclosed trial data is returned.

How fresh is the data? Live — every run queries CTIS directly, so newly authorised trials appear as soon as the EMA publishes them.

Can I get all trials? Yes — set maxResults to 0 to paginate through every matching trial.

Does it need an API key or login? No. The Actor uses the public CTIS endpoint; no credentials required.

Legal

This Actor collects only publicly available clinical trial transparency data published by the EMA under the EU Clinical Trials Regulation. It does not access personal data or bypass authentication. You are responsible for using the output in compliance with applicable laws and the CTIS terms of use.
