- Alerts can reach you by text, email, or your favorite AI, such as a personal assistant like Instinct or Muse.
- Each alert points you to the registry link so you can read the details at the source.
- It is information only, not medical advice, and it is free during the beta.
Who it is for
Why is it so hard to follow a drug's trials?
Say you or someone close to you is waiting on a new treatment.
Most people end up with a handful of bookmarks and a vague plan to check on Sundays.
ClinicalTracker is a free tracker at clinicaltracker.org.
Say you or someone close to you is waiting on a new treatment. The drug is in trials, and you want to know how it is going. The facts live in public trial registries, and those pages change: a study moves from not yet recruiting to recruiting, a new site is added, a status flips. Nothing tells you when that happens. You have to remember to go back and look.
Most people end up with a handful of bookmarks and a vague plan to check on Sundays. A drug usually has several trials, and each one has its own page, so a change in one is easy to miss for weeks. Patients, caregivers, advocates, students and journalists all hit the same wall.
ClinicalTracker is a free tracker at clinicaltracker.org. You search clinical trials, choose what to watch, and get an alert when something changes. It is information only, not medical advice. It reports what the registry shows and leaves the decisions to you and your care team.
Use cases
4 ways people use Following a drug's trials through approval.
- Now recruitingNow recruiting
1. A trial opens its doors
For example, you have been following a trial that was listed but not yet enrolling. Checking by hand means opening the page every few days just to see the same status.
With the trial on your watchlist, ClinicalTracker alerts you when its status changes to Recruiting. The alert includes the registry link. You open it, read the eligibility details at the source, and decide whether to raise it with your doctor.
- New trial sitesNew trial sites
2. New sites appear closer to home
Location often decides whether a trial is realistic. A study that was only running far away may add a site nearer to you, and the registry will not announce it.
A watchlist alert can tell you that new sites were added. You follow the registry link, check where they are, and take the list to your care team if it looks relevant.
- One drug, many trialsOne drug, many trials
3. Tracking a drug across several trials
A single drug often moves through more than one study. Search for it in ClinicalTracker, then put the relevant trials on your watchlist together.
From then on you hear about changes to any of them in one place. You can follow the drug's progress toward approval without keeping a spreadsheet of registry pages.
- Ask your AIAsk your AI
4. Letting your own AI keep watch
If you use a personal AI such as Instinct or Muse, you can have alerts arrive there. ClinicalTracker also offers an MCP connection for AI assistants, described on its own site.
That way you can reply to an alert and ask what to look at next, while the facts still come from the registry link inside the alert.
