ClinicalTrials.gov Studies Scraper

Pull structured trial records from ClinicalTrials.gov for biotech scouting, indication research, sponsor monitoring, clinical pipeline analysis, pharma market maps, and healthcare AI datasets.

Why use this Actor

• Uses the official ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API for low cost and high reliability.
• Outputs normalized study rows that are easy to send to datasets, spreadsheets, warehouses, BI dashboards, and AI agents.
• Runs without a browser or residential proxy, keeping execution fast and predictable.
• Useful for recurring monitoring of sponsors, conditions, interventions, recruiting status, trial locations, and study phase.

Common use cases

• Track active and recruiting trials by condition, sponsor, drug, device, country, or phase.
• Build a biotech or pharma competitive-intelligence dataset.
• Monitor clinical pipeline changes for investors, analysts, CROs, and business-development teams.
• Create AI/RAG datasets from public trial records.
• Export trial rows for dashboards, spreadsheets, lead lists, or market research.

Input

Search by condition, sponsor, intervention, location, status, phase, or NCT ID. Keep the first test small, then increase limits once the output shape matches your workflow.

}

Output

The Actor stores every result in the default Apify dataset. Rows include NCT ID, title, status, phases, conditions, interventions, sponsors, start/completion dates, locations, enrollment, links, and source URLs when available so downstream jobs can deduplicate and refresh records.

Pricing recommendation

Suggested store setup: pay per event with the default dataset-item event as the primary event. Launch around $0.003 per study row, then adjust after real usage and margin data.

Notes

This Actor only accesses publicly available data from the source API. Source availability, rate limits, and upstream schema changes can affect individual runs.

Responsible use

ClinicalTrials.gov data is public research registry data, not medical advice. Validate important trial details against the official study page before making investment, clinical, regulatory, or patient-facing decisions. Do not combine outputs with personal health information unless you have the right legal and security controls.

Automation ideas

Schedule recurring monitors for sponsors, conditions, interventions, countries, and recruiting statuses. AI agents can summarize pipeline movement, detect newly recruiting studies, flag trial-status changes, enrich pharma market maps, and prepare business-development or diligence briefs from official trial records.
