Clinical trials have a participant satisfaction rate of more than 90%, yet less than 5% of cancer patients participate. Not enough patients (and doctors) know what trials are available to them. Patients need more options. Researchers need more participants. CRC connects these two groups by making information on clinical trials much easier to find. To do so, we scrape publicly available government filings for clinical trials and make them easily searchable for the average person. Our current application includes both lung and colorectal cancer trials, but we plan to extend to other types in the coming months.
