Clinical Trials Databases

I've been looking for info on clinical trials recently for people at stage 4, and there's nothing on the Cancerbacup or CRUK sites for them at all at present.

I called CRUK, and they told me that much of their database comes from a couple of American databases.

These are the clinicaltrials.gov and National Cancer Institute databases. They don't just cover the US, but the whole world, and have more up-to-date information on UK trials than the UK databases.

Cancerbacup's database also uses the National Cancer Research Network database as a source. This database is linked to a European database as well.

So if you are looking for info on trials, these last three databases will give you wider and more up-to-date information than the predigested Cancerbacup and CRUK ones.
