FAQ

How many trials are available? Over 575,000 registered studies from 221 countries. ClinicalTrials.gov is updated daily.

Can I get all Phase 3 trials in oncology? Yes — set condition: cancer (or a specific cancer type), phase: PHASE3, status: RECRUITING. A typical oncology pull returns 2,000-5,000 active studies.

Does this include eligibility criteria text? Yes — the full eligibility criteria text (inclusion and exclusion criteria) is included in each record.

How is this different from the ClinicalTrials Sponsor Intelligence actor? This actor is a bulk exporter optimized for large dataset downloads (AI training, systematic reviews). The Sponsor Intelligence actor cross-references FDA drug approvals and is optimized for pharma competitive intelligence on a specific sponsor or compound.

Can I automate weekly pipeline updates? Yes — schedule this actor weekly on Apify to track changes in trial enrollment status and new trial registrations in your therapeutic area.
