New ClinicalTrials.gov Connector Expands AI-Assisted Clinical Research Access

The recently launched ClinicalTrials.gov Connector for Claude provides direct AI access to the NIH/NLM registry of over 500,000 registered clinical studies, enabling structured search and analysis of trials by condition, intervention, location, sponsor, and recruitment status. It supports retrieval of detailed protocol information, eligibility criteria, endpoints, and investigator/site data to aid research planning, patient-trial matching, and competitive landscape reviews. This integration reduces manual querying of disparate trial records. It is relevant to clinical researchers, coordinators, regulatory and operations teams seeking to streamline evidence synthesis and trial design benchmarking.
