Where can I find comprehensive clinical trial data?
The Problem
You are searching for clinical data and have exhausted public sources such as PubMed. Are you done? No! A vast amount of superior-quality data is available through proprietary databases available at the Lane Library on a consultation basis.
No exhaustive search for clinical trials is complete without consulting these databases.
Why use these databases?
These databases are essential for:
- Finding the latest clinical trial data for a compound, condition or indication, whether for compound that is available as a drug, is not yet available on the market, or is a failed drug.
- Determining whether a trial has ever been performed on a compound, anywhere in the world.
- Evaluating what other drugs in a particular class are under trial, including by a given manufacturer.
- Finding information for any compound that has ever been evaluated, including preclinical as well as clinical trial data.
