Share Your Voice: Shaping the Future of Clinical Trial Searches

[Darryl]

Dear Friends,

Clinical trial search engines suck. Most are primitive and return hit-or-miss results. None consider your specific concerns, leaving you vulnerable to hours of phone calls and form-filling, only to be rejected or to find that the trial is different than what you first thought.

Malecare's mission to provide tailored support for those navigating prostate cancer continues to evolve, and we're thrilled to share that our next endeavor is developing a drawn-from-the-future tool designed to streamline clinical trial searches that meet your specific needs, no matter how quirky.

We need your insights to make this as valuable and easy to use as possible.

What features and benefits would make an ideal clinical trial search tool?

What information is most critical to your decision regarding applying to a clinical trial?

Reducing the complexity and time spent searching for trials

Providing peace of mind through a reliable and user-friendly platform

This sounds fantastic Darryl. I haven’t searched for any trials for myself yet, so sorry if this is too much of a basic feature request; but I imagine location/country matters for people.

Thank you Darryl for giving us the opportunity to contribute. Two immediate ones for me are:

1. A search for trials by country.

2. A search for trials based on being Hormone Sensitive or Castrate resistance.

Kind regards

Further to Graham's 1. above - a search for trials by location within a country e.g. the USA.

An ability to put in the treatments you have had and the exclude those trials which you cannot participate in because of those previous treatments.

Also, sometimes you have to previously had a particular treatment such as docetaxel.
