What if finding the right clinical trial did not depend on knowing where to look?

CTDN is a pre-competitive, open-access initiative building the infrastructure needed to make clinical trial information more structured, reusable, and easier to distribute across the ecosystem.

By improving how trial data flows, CTDN helps better information reach the patients, physicians, platforms, and partners who rely on it.

Empowering the network through enriched trial information

Millions of people are looking for clinical trial information, and a wide ecosystem already depends on it.

But much of that information still starts as fragmented, partially structured data, making it harder to reuse, distribute, and act on.

CTDN helps transform that flow by structuring and enriching trial data so it can move more effectively across the ecosystem and better reach the people who need it.

Our mission

To enable more accessible, efficient, and equitable clinical trials by unlocking the potential of clinical trial registries.

CTDN is helping transform how clinical trials are discovered, understood, and matched by making key trial information more structured, interoperable, and usable.

Our open-access approach is designed to support patients, providers, sponsors, sites, academics, matchmaking platforms, and others with more robust and easier-to-understand trial information.

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.
