For Patients (Clinical Resources)

For the latest advances in clinical trials and therapies, please talk to your doctor.

You can also contact a patient advocacy group or visit any of the following websites for more information on clinical research before talking to your doctor:

  • UW Health Research: Information on ongoing clinical trials at UW-Madison.
  • CenterWatch: Thousands of industry-sponsored clinical trials are actively recruiting patients. You can search for clinical trials by medical condition, therapeutic area and location.
  • ClinicalTrials.gov: a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

How to search clinicaltrials.gov:

Step 1: Enter a term or phrase in the main search field, such as the name of a disease, disorder or injury (e.g., Parkinson’s, heart disease, diabetes, HIV, osteoarthritis, lymphoma, spinal cord injury, polycystic ovary syndrome, lupus).

Step 2: Click the blue “On a Map” tab to locate trials.

Step 3: Talk to your doctor about any clinical trials of interest.
