Ideas??

[Maxone73]

Hi guys! I am looking for a project to carry out that could help us. My idea was (and is) a tool to easily search clinicaltrials.gov through a simple questionnaire. It would retrieve clinical trialsnthat are recruiting or that will recruit soon. (Stage 2 would be including a summary of the treatment from the information that can be gathered online).But do you think there could be something more useful?

absolutely

[JoeBo]

Yes, absolutely! Thank you

[Maxone73 in reply to JoeBo]

You mean there is absolutely something more useful??

[JoeBo in reply to Maxone73]

No. I mean that we need something that makes these trials more easily understandable. So sorry for the confusion. Thank you for your contributions to this group

[Maxone73 in reply to JoeBo]

Ok!! I am trying to make it very simple, just answer 4/5 questions and get the results. The search engine on clinicaltrials.gov is very powerful but not exactly friendly.

".... trying to make it very simple .... " yes - Yes - YES

my edit pertaining to me would be to read "dumb ass simple" 😉

There are many apps that search clinicaltrials.gov The NHS has trialgpt. I think if you search on google, you'll see there are many apps that already use a natural language way to search for clinical trials in Europe and in the States. Perhaps you should figure out what added value you can offer before you try to reinvent the wheel.

[Maxone73 in reply to HusbandsPCA]

And that's exactly why I asked 😃

[PCaWarrior in reply to HusbandsPCA]

Do you know if there are any that allow you to specify search parameters for in-progress and completed trials? I searched google. Didn't spend much time on the results. But they all seemed to be aids to find recruiting trials.

[Maxone73 in reply to PCaWarrior]

Clinicaltrials.gov let's you specify a ton of parameters

You can automate them with RSS feeds. I just added a feed to automatically scan for HSPC trials in my area.

I have a paid chatgpt plan. They have a gpt called Clinical Trial Navigator that is more like a chatbot than a search form. My husband used it and found a trial about three months ago. I hope that will be helpful for you, too.

[PCaWarrior in reply to HusbandsPCA]

Already found a metastudy on BAT and resensitization. Thanks! I didn't know so many chatlets existed under the chatgpt framework.

I am a software architect and developer and I thought about it years ago. With this disease now, I don’t feel like doing anything about anything.

[Maxone73 in reply to StayingOptimistic]

I know the feeling, I gave up my PhD after the diagnosis, I am trying to force myself back on a challenge, apart from managing my blog I mean

[PCaWarrior]

I would be more interested in clinical trials that have been completed. Have you set up any RSS feeds? I have a half dozen for various types of trials that I am interested in.

Perhaps a step by step process for setting them up would be helpful. Or even more helpful an application that takes your input and sets them up for you.

I use Feeder (free) for my RSS feeds.

This are my feeds.

RSS Feeds for clinicaltrials.gov

I set these up years ago. Now they have a process that is hopefully easier.
