Enabling Infrastructure for Clinical Research Ecosystem Innovation
CTDN is the only pre-competitive, open-access platform co-created across the research ecosystem that drives a systemic change by transforming how clinical trial information flows in a structured and enriched manner – ultimately enabling trials which are more representative, faster to enroll and better positioned.
Our mission and vision
Our mission is to drive more accessible, efficient, and equitable clinical trials by unlocking the potential of Clinical Trials registries.
We transform how clinical trials are discovered, understood, and matched by structuring eligibility data into a universal standard.
Our open-access platform empowers patients, primary care staff, sponsors, sites, academics, match-making platforms, and more with robust, structured, and easy-to-understand trial information — driving more representative, faster to enroll, and better positioned to generate robust evidence for regulators.
Who’s behind the project?
CTDN is incubated from within PFMD and guided by a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee, with the support of global partners.
