Clinical trial matching AI

TrialScreen

TrialScreen offers trial search and automated prescreening. A match is not a final enrollment decision. Current policy permits some disclosures beyond express consent alone, and removal of information already sent to study teams depends on those teams.

Public trial search and automated prescreening, distinct from sponsor-managed recruitment services and ultimate study enrollment decisions.

Patient agency

How this tool changes agency

Expands agency when

Trial discovery supports action. The reviewed public pages do not establish an explanation or appeal path for false-negative screening, so do not equate a match result with final eligibility.

Limits agency when

Search ranking, sponsored labels, explanation of exclusions and patient screening-data retention remain unverified

Patient agency assessment

Who sets and changes the goal?

Patient authority

Historical no-account search gives users room to explore. Screening may narrow perceived options, so correction of input and access to researchers matter more than free access alone.

What can the patient understand, question, or do?

Critical capacity

Trial discovery supports action. The reviewed public pages do not establish an explanation or appeal path for false-negative screening, so do not equate a match result with final eligibility.

Can the patient evaluate the conditions of use?

Informed control

The baseline's consent-only sharing language is stronger than the current policy, which contains additional permitted bases. Downstream removal depends on study teams.

No live product testing. Numerical scores remain provisional editorial placements, not a new calculation.
