There is no single location that lists every clinical trial. However, between your doctors, the internet and other resources available to you, you can learn about the clinical trials  that may be right for you. 

Start your search with studies listed as Phase III, late-stage, large tests on the drug's safety and efficacy. If you do not find what you're looking for, search for other Phase III trials, then Phase II, then Phase I.

Sources to consider:

  • Your Doctor(s) (a good first step)
  • The Internet (the standard second step)
  • Local hospitals
  • Medical schools
  • Disease specific non-profit organizations
  • Support groups
  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
  • National Institutes of Health
  • Drug/Pharmaceutical Companies
  • Cancer Trials
  • HIV/AIDS Trials

If you aren't up for this research, ask a friend or family member to do it for you. Or you can hire a professional.
