🎯 Key Features & Capabilities

• Complete Global Clinical Trials Database: Access over 490,000+ registered clinical studies across all therapeutic areas.
• Precision Drug Pipeline Filters: Search by medical condition (e.g. Alzheimer, Oncology, Diabetes), lead sponsor (e.g. Pfizer, Novartis, Eli Lilly), or investigational drug/mechanism (GLP-1, mRNA, CAR-T).
• Study Phases & Recruitment Status: Filter by clinical phase (Phase 1, 2, 3 Pivotal, 4) and recruitment state (RECRUITING, ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING, COMPLETED, TERMINATED).
• Clinical Site & Investigator Intelligence: Extracts participating hospitals, research institutions, patient enrollment targets, and central study coordinator contacts.
• 100% Reliable & Fast: Uses the modern NIH v2 API with official data schemas, requiring no fragile browser automation.
