Category: Using Filters

The platform’s filter system is designed to be intuitive and responsive.

How Filters Apply

• Filters can be applied individually or in combination.
• The trial list updates automatically as filters are applied, without needing to reload the page or click a separate search button.

Resetting Filters

• A “Clear Filters” option is always available at the top of the filter panel.
• This resets all active filters and returns the results list to its unfiltered state.

Result Refreshing

• As new filters are applied or removed, the trial cards update in real time to reflect the current query settings.
• The platform ensures optimal performance even with complex combinations of filters.

Key Note: Applying filters helps participants reduce information overload and locate the most relevant trials faster. Users are encouraged to experiment with filters based on their interests and eligibility to explore a broader range of study options.

Once search results are displayed, a filter panel is shown alongside or above the trial cards (depending on the device). Participants can apply the following filters to customize their view:

Trial Status

• Actively Recruiting: Trials currently accepting participants.
• Not Yet Recruiting: Trials that will open for enrollment soon.
• Enrollment Paused: Temporarily suspended recruitment.
• Closed: Trials that are no longer accepting participants (typically hidden unless specifically selected).

This allows users to focus only on open opportunities if desired.

Gender

• Filters trials based on eligibility for:
  • Male
  • Female
  • Transgender
  • Non-binary

This helps ensure participants only see studies where their gender identity is eligible for participation.

Age Group

• Participants can filter studies based on the age ranges defined in eligibility criteria, such as:
  • Children (0–17 years)
  • Adults (18–64 years)
  • Seniors (65+ years)

Only trials matching the participant’s age bracket will appear when selected.

Phase

• Filters trials by their development stage:
  • Phase 1 (Safety)
  • Phase 2 (Efficacy)
  • Phase 3 (Large-scale testing)
  • Phase 4 (Post-marketing)

This is particularly useful for users interested in either early-stage or later-stage research.
