Are clinical trials available?

There are several resources and methods available for finding clinical trials:

1. ClinicalTrials.gov: This is a comprehensive database where you can search for clinical trials by conditions, location, and other criteria. You can find contact details for each trial to get more information directly from the investigators 1.

2. JDRF Clinical Trial Connection Tool: Specifically helpful for type 1 diabetes, it allows users to input their information and receive updates on relevant clinical trials 1.

3. Expanded Access and Ethical Considerations: There are mechanisms like "expanded access" that allow patients to access drugs still in development, especially in the context of severe diseases like cancer. However, availability can depend on the policies of the companies running the trials 2.

4. Leveraging AI and Public Data: Companies like TrialKey are improving predictions and insights from clinical trials data, even addressing challenges in the publicly available data sets from ClinicalTrials.gov 3.

5. Untapped Potential of Government Data: Much valuable data from government-funded clinical trials is underutilized. These datasets are often publicly available after a certain period and can be a rich resource for further research and development 4.
