About
What is Clinical Trial Finder and Ranker?
Clifton is an AI-powered tool designed to simplify the complex process of finding and ranking clinical trials. Users input a patient's age, medical history, and preferences, and Clifton sifts through actively recruiting interventional trials on ClinicalTrials.gov in real-time. It then provides a ranked list based on eligibility, treatment odds, and user preferences. The tool leverages Gemini AI to normalize conditions, understand synonyms, detect conflicts with comorbidities, and generate plain-English summaries. Key features include smart eligibility matching, distance-sorted trial sites, flexible dealbreakers, and private data handling with no tracking. Clifton is open-source, free to use, and allows users to export action plans or receive new trial alerts.

FAQs
How does Clifton ensure my privacy and data security?
Clifton prioritizes privacy by saving your profile only in your browser, ensuring no tracking, emails, or data storage on its servers. When you search, anonymized health data (without names) is sent to Google Gemini AI to improve matching, and the tool is fully open source for transparency.
What is the cost associated with using Clifton?
Clifton is completely free to use. However, each AI-enhanced search incurs an API fee of approximately $0.05โ0.10. Users have the option to donate to support these operational costs and the ongoing development of the tool.
Can Clifton help me track new clinical trials?
Yes, Clifton remembers your last search results. If you run the search again at a later time, it will automatically highlight any new trials that have appeared since your previous check, helping you stay updated on new opportunities.
