Frequently Asked Questions

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical approaches in people. These studies explore new methods of screening, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment. Every trial is reviewed and monitored by experts to ensure safety and scientific validity.

We show trials that may relate to a person’s health profile and location. Final eligibility is always determined by the research team during their own screening process. We do not determine eligibility.

Yes. Searching studies, creating a profile and seeing studies that may fit you is free, and always will be. Research sites pay a flat $99 per month for their workspace; nothing a patient does changes that.

Corterve is based in Dayton, Ohio, and lists recruiting studies across the United States, drawn from the public ClinicalTrials.gov registry.

We compare the basics you share (conditions, age, sex and location) with each study’s public eligibility summary and show studies that may fit, closest first. That is a starting point, not an eligibility decision: the study team decides who can join after their own screening.

Not unless you say so. A site can ask us to invite you to a study. You see the study, a short disclosure and a consent step, and only if you agree does the site see your contact details.

Each trial has specific eligibility criteria. Our assessment helps identify trials where you may qualify, but final eligibility is always determined by the research team during their screening process.

Costs, travel support, and any payment for taking part vary by study. Ask the study team what is covered before you decide to join.

Yes. Participation in any clinical trial is completely voluntary. You can withdraw at any time, for any reason, without penalty.

Clinical trials are carefully designed and monitored. Every trial undergoes review by ethics committees (IRBs) before it begins, and participant safety is continuously monitored throughout.

Research teams closely monitor all participants. If you experience any adverse effects, report them immediately to the research team.

The assessment typically takes 5–10 minutes. Questions focus on your health conditions, symptoms, and preferences.

You'll see trials that may fit your profile. You can review each trial and express interest — we'll then connect you with the research site to begin their screening process.

Yes, you can help a family member complete the assessment. All final decisions about participation must be made by the patient (or their legal guardian for minors).
