Key takeaways

The short version.

  • Registry entries change without any announcement, so manual checking misses things.
  • ClinicalTracker searches clinical trials and watches the ones you pick for changes.
  • Alerts can reach you by text, email, or your favorite AI, such as a personal AI like Instinct or Muse.
  • A status change, such as a trial moving to Recruiting, arrives with details and the registry link.
  • It reports information only. It is not medical advice, and it never acts on its own.

Who it is for

Why is it so hard to keep up with competitor trials?

  • If you work in clinical research, you probably have a list of trials you need to follow: a competitor's study in your indication, a trial…

  • The problem is that none of this comes with a loud announcement.

  • ClinicalTracker is a free tracker built for this.

If you work in clinical research, you probably have a list of trials you need to follow: a competitor's study in your indication, a trial testing a similar mechanism, or a study that could change your enrollment plans. Each one lives on a registry page, and those pages change. A status moves, a site is added, a design detail is edited.

The problem is that none of this comes with a loud announcement. People end up with a bookmarked folder and a reminder to check on Fridays. Some weeks the check gets skipped, and a change is noticed late, or by accident, or after a colleague mentions it in a meeting.

ClinicalTracker is a free tracker built for this. You search clinical trials, choose what to watch, and get an alert when something on your list changes. It gives you information only, not medical advice, so the judgment about what a change means stays with you and your team.

Use cases

4 ways people use For researchers: watching competitor trials.

  1. Status change

    1. A competitor trial starts recruiting

    Situation: a rival sponsor has a study in your area that has been sitting in a not-yet-recruiting state. Your team wants to know the moment it opens, because it may compete for the same patients and sites.

    What the alert tells you: the trial on your watchlist changed status to Recruiting. You get the details and the registry link. What you do next: open the registry entry, read the update, and bring it to your next planning conversation instead of finding out weeks later.

  2. New sites added

    2. New sites appear for a trial you follow

    Situation: you are planning site selection and want to know where a competing study is expanding. Sites can be added to an entry without any fanfare.

    What the alert tells you: a watched trial added new sites, and the alert points you to the registry entry. What you do next: check whether those locations overlap with the ones you are considering, and talk to your operations lead before the overlap becomes a surprise.

  3. Search and watch

    3. Searching first, then watching

    Situation: you are new to a therapeutic area, or a new project has just landed on your desk, and you do not yet know which trials matter.

    What the tool does: ClinicalTracker lets you search clinical trials first. Once you find the ones that are relevant, you choose to watch them. What you do next: build a short, deliberate watchlist rather than a long bookmark folder, and let changes come to you.

  4. Your own channel

    4. Changes reach you where you already work

    Situation: some people live in email, some in text messages, and some talk to a personal AI all day.

    What the alert tells you is the same wherever it lands. You can receive alerts by text, by email, or in your favorite AI. A personal AI such as Instinct or Muse is the natural fit, since you can ask follow-up questions in the same place. ClinicalTracker also offers an MCP connection for AI assistants, described on its own site, if you want to go that way.
