SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires tooluniverse.

What problem does it solve? Finding relevant clinical trials for a specific cancer patient requires manually searching ClinicalTrials.gov, interpreting eligibility criteria, and cross-referencing biomarker data across multiple databases. This Skill automates that process, turning a patient profile (disease, mutations, stage, prior treatments) into a ranked, evidence-graded list of trial recommendations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Patient Profile Standardization: Resolves diseases to EFO ontology IDs and genes to Ensembl/Entrez identifiers, and classifies biomarkers as FDA-approved or investigational. - Multi-Dimensional Trial Scoring: Ranks trials with a 0-100 Trial Match Score covering molecular match, clinical eligibility, evidence strength, phase, and geographic feasibility. - Drug-Biomarker Alignment: Cross-references trial interventions against OpenTargets, ChEMBL, FDA, CIViC, and PubMed to verify that trial drugs target the patient's biomarkers. - Use Case: An oncologist asks for trial options for a Stage IV NSCLC patient with an EGFR L858R mutation who failed platinum chemotherapy; the Skill produces a markdown report with the top scored trials, eligibility analysis, evidence tiers, and alternative options like basket trials and expanded access. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to find clinical trials for a patient by describing the cancer type, specific biomarkers, stage, prior treatments, and optionally a preferred location.

Frequently Asked Questions about tooluniverse-clinical-trial-matching

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find clinical trials for a patient with a specific mutation?▼

Provide the disease type, the specific biomarker (e.g., EGFR L858R or KRAS G12C), stage, and prior treatments. The skill searches ClinicalTrials.gov by disease, biomarker, and intervention, then scores and ranks matching trials on a 0-100 scale.

What data sources does clinical trial matching use?▼

It queries ClinicalTrials.gov for trials, OpenTargets and ChEMBL for drug mechanisms, CIViC for variant evidence, FDA for approved indications and pharmacogenomic biomarkers, PubMed for literature, and MyGene plus OLS/EFO for identifier resolution.

How is the Trial Match Score calculated?▼

The score totals 100 points: molecular match (0-40), clinical eligibility (0-25), evidence strength (0-20), trial phase (0-10), and geographic feasibility (0-5). Scores map to tiers: Optimal (80-100), Good (60-79), Possible (40-59), and Exploratory (0-39).

Can I search for trials near a specific city or state?▼

Yes, include a location such as a city or state in the patient profile. The skill retrieves trial site locations and adds geographic feasibility points, prioritizing sites in the patient's area over national or international sites.

What happens when no trials match a rare biomarker?▼

The skill broadens the search from variant-level to gene-level and pathway-level queries, searches basket and tumor-agnostic trials, checks CIViC for variant evidence, and reports alternative options such as expanded access programs and off-label drugs.

What are the limitations of automated clinical trial matching?▼

Eligibility assessment is approximate since final determination rests with trial investigators, and trial availability changes frequently. Reports are for informational and research purposes only and should be verified at ClinicalTrials.gov and discussed with the care team.
