We pull every recruiting trial near you from ClinicalTrials.gov. Our AI reads each one’s eligibility rules, the fine print most patients can’t follow, and shows which fit you and why.
Take the next step
See each trial's location and contact, what to say when you call, and a summary to share with your doctor.
Trials shape tomorrow's treatments, and help patients today
When a trial includes people from every background, doctors learn how a treatment works for everyone. When communities are missing, they miss out on new options, and new drugs reach the market without evidence for them.
- Early access to new treatments not yet available elsewhere
- The study treatment is usually provided at no cost
- Close monitoring by a specialist care team
- You can ask questions first and stop taking part at any time
Built with patients, clinicians and community groups
Community input
Shaped by conversations with community organizations about what patients really need.

The team
Our team is made up of researchers, clinicians and experts in health informatics and machine learning.
Your privacy

Common questions
What is a clinical trial?
A research study that tests a new way to prevent, find or treat cancer. Every new cancer treatment available today was first tested in a clinical trial.
Does it cost money to join?
The study treatment and study-only tests are usually free. Regular care may still be billed to your insurance. Ask the trial team what is covered, including travel and parking.
Is it safe? Will I be treated like a guinea pig?
Trials follow strict rules and are reviewed by independent boards that protect patients. Before you join, the team must explain the risks and benefits, and you can leave at any time for any reason.
Does CanSearcher decide if I qualify?
No. CanSearcher shows trials that may fit you. The trial team, together with your doctor, decides if a trial is right for you.
Who can use it?
Anyone: patients, family members, caregivers and doctors. It is free and works on any phone.
