Looking into this for someone else

Someone you care about is unwell, and you want to be useful. You can look through what’s recruiting in Canada, keep what seems worth a second look, and send it to them or their doctor in one message.

Whether they follow any of it up is theirs to decide.

A Care Package is a note you put together

As you look, keep the trials that seem worth a second look. When you’re ready, they go to the person you’re thinking of — or to their doctor — as one plain-language note, in your words. Nothing is sent until you say so.

Start looking

A few things worth knowing first

The decision is theirs. Whether to look into a clinical trial — or not — belongs to the person who would take part, together with their care team. Some people want every option in front of them; others don't. Declining is a complete answer.

What a trial is, and isn't. A clinical trial is research. It exists to answer a question that isn't settled yet, which means nobody knows how it will turn out — including the people running it. Taking part can mean more appointments, more tests, and travel. It is one option among others, not a better one.

Their care team has information a listing doesn't. A trial can look like a fit in a registry and be ruled out for reasons that never appear there — other conditions, medications, timing, treatment history. Trial listings are best brought to a doctor as a question.

What screening involves. Trial sites screen carefully, and many people who enquire are not eligible — often for reasons unrelated to how unwell someone is. Anyone who does take part can stop at any time, without giving a reason and without it affecting their care.

What this page does. You can collect trials here and send them in one email. What happens after that is up to the person who receives it.

Browse by condition

Concord provides information only. Trial listings come from public registries, and whether anyone can take part is decided by the trial site and their own care team.
