Trial Beacon · Oncology
Find clinical trials
you’re actually eligible for.
Most trial matching tools ask you to fill out a questionnaire and guess at your own lab values. Trial Beacon reads your health record — with your permission — and shows you trials that fit, with a clear explanation of why each one did or didn’t make the list.
How it works
Three steps.
In that order.
Browse
Start with the library.
Search every active oncology trial on ClinicalTrials.gov by cancer type, phase, and location. Each trial is summarized in plain language, with the full protocol one click away. No login required.
Connect
Bring your record. (optional)
If you want personalized matches, connect your MyChart account through SMART on FHIR — the same standard used for linking a bank to a budgeting app. Your health data is read directly into this browser. It never touches our servers.
Match
See the three-bucket answer.
For every trial, we evaluate your record against each eligibility criterion and sort them into three buckets: met, not met, or discuss with your care team. We never guess, and we never hide the ambiguous ones.
A note on your data
We don’t store patient health data. We don’t send it to our servers. We don’t write it to browser storage. The matching engine runs in your browser, in memory, and the data is discarded when the session ends.

Before you begin
Trial Beacon is a pre-screening tool, not medical advice.
We remove noise. We do not make clinical decisions. The final determination of whether a trial is right for you belongs to its investigators and your care team. If a criterion can’t be answered from your record, we say so — plainly — and send you to your oncologist with a specific question in hand.
