Clinical Trial Matcher

What the Clinical Trial Matcher does

The Clinical Trial Matcher is a filter over a curated list of ten women's hormonal-health clinical trials. You pick a category, a study phase, and a recruitment status, and it shows the trials from that list that match all three choices at once. Categories cover menopause and HRT, GLP-1 and weight, PCOS, fertility, and thyroid. It is a browsing shortcut for a small, hand-picked set of trials, not a live search of the full ClinicalTrials.gov database.

Each result shows the trial title, the condition being studied, the phase, the sponsor, the target enrollment number, and the primary outcome the trial is set up to measure. Every entry links directly to that study's page on ClinicalTrials.gov by its NCT identifier, which is where the full eligibility criteria, locations, and study-team contact details actually live. The tool points you to that page; it does not reproduce or replace it.

The point of the page is orientation: it lets you see, at a glance, which categories of women's hormonal research have active trials worth knowing about, what stage those trials are at, and what question each one is trying to answer, before you dig into any single study.

How to read your result

The heading counts how many of the ten listed trials match your current filters. The three filters are combined with AND, so a trial appears only if it matches your category and your phase and your status. Narrowing more than one field can quickly drop the count to zero, and some combinations (for example, a category that has no observational study) simply have no match. The status filter defaults to Recruiting; switch it to Active or to Any (including completed) to widen the view.

Treat a match as a starting point, not an answer. The tool does not check whether you personally qualify: it never asks about your location, medical history, current medications, or prior treatment, and the age field in the code is not used to filter anything. To find out if a trial is enrolling near you and whether you meet its criteria, open the ClinicalTrials.gov link and read the eligibility section there. Bring anything you find to a clinician or prescriber, who can tell you whether joining a trial fits your situation. This page is educational and does not diagnose, treat, or recommend enrollment.

What the result is based on

Results are computed entirely from a fixed list of ten trials written into the site's code. When you change a filter, the tool keeps only the trials whose stored category, phase, and status values exactly equal your selections. There is no scoring, ranking, model, or matching algorithm behind it, and no personalization beyond those three exact-match filters.

The trial details shown, including sponsor, target enrollment, primary outcome, and NCT identifier, come from that same stored list, which is maintained by the site's editors. The tool is not connected live to ClinicalTrials.gov, so a trial's real-world recruitment status can change on the official registry without changing here until the list is updated.

What it cannot tell you

• The registry is ten hand-selected trials, not a full index. Any trial not on this list, including newly posted or recently closed studies, will never appear no matter how you filter.
• Recruitment status and enrollment numbers are stored values, not live data. A trial marked Recruiting here may have paused, filled, or closed on ClinicalTrials.gov; always confirm status on the linked official page.
• It performs no eligibility screening. It does not consider your age, location, diagnosis, medications, or prior treatments, so a match does not mean you qualify or that a site is enrolling near you.
• Filters are exact-match and combined with AND. You cannot select two phases at once, and choosing a category and phase with no listed study returns zero results even if such trials exist in the real world.
• Categories are limited to five areas: menopause/HRT, GLP-1/weight, PCOS, fertility, and thyroid. Other women's-health conditions are out of scope.
• The primary outcome shown is the single endpoint the trial is designed around, not a summary of results; most listed studies have future completion dates and no published findings.
