Frequently Asked Questions

PatientMatch uses AI to analyze your health profile and match you with relevant clinical trials. We screen you against trial criteria to find studies you're most likely to qualify for.

PatientMatch is designed to work without collecting contact information. Matching details stay in your browser where possible, and we do not send your information to trial sites.

Our matching algorithm analyzes trial criteria against your profile to provide confidence scores. 'Likely match' means you meet most requirements, while 'Possible' indicates some criteria need verification.

You can complete a detailed screener, save or share the summary, and review the official ClinicalTrials.gov listing. PatientMatch does not contact sites on your behalf.

Most clinical trials cover the cost of treatment and may provide compensation for your time and travel. The specific details vary by trial and are explained in the official listing or by the study team.

It depends on the specific trials and your health condition. Some trials allow participation in other studies, while others have restrictions. Always discuss this with your clinician or the study team.
