Introducing Clinical Trials
Today we're launching Clinical Trials in Elicit. You can now search through the 545,000 trials available on clinicaltrials.gov and summarize them in structured tables or descriptive reports.
New trial registrations are instantly available.

Some of the early uses we're seeing include:
- Benchmarking trial designs and endpoints
- Understanding safety signals, secondary outcomes, subgroup data
- Understanding the historical context of a particular asset
- Informing launch / commercial strategy
- Tracking the progress of assets or competitors
- Due diligence and BD
The Elicit approach to clinical trials
So what are all the ways we're doing it Elicit style?
First, you can start with a natural language question; Elicit will convert these into the right trial parameters to return the most relevant studies.
You can ask complex queries like the one about ICIs, or a simpler one like below, without having to wrangle boolean searches and database filters, or remember every possible keyword combination. Elicit Search captures relevant concepts and keywords even if they're not explicitly specified in your query.

You can systematically screen studies based on any information in the trial protocol & registration.

You can extract custom information across all trials to automatically create summary tables. This was previously the most manual and time-consuming work, which Elicit now automates.

And you're not limited to basic trial information; you can even extract derived insights like "clinical significance assessment of primary endpoint results"

You can view the entire study without having to navigate away.

And of course, it wouldn't be an Elicit artifact without meticulous citations.

Supporting evidence-based decisions
As with our Elicit Alerts launch, we’re continuing to ensure Elicit helps those who care most about making robust, timely, evidence-based decisions.
This is the first of many features designed to support high-stakes decision-making in life sciences. Stay tuned for more data sources, deeper regulatory insights, and comprehensive market analyses.
Clinical Trials are available to all paying Elicit users as part of Research Reports and Systematic Reviews.
