# pipeworx `clinicaltrials` — Clinicaltrials

## Coverage
Search and analyze ClinicalTrials.gov: trials by keyword/condition/drug/status/phase, one study's full design and results, counts by condition, trials by location, and recently updated trials, plus a sponsor-analytics suite (a sponsor's trials, pipeline, and activity, and head-to-head sponsor comparison), catalyst calendars, competitive-landscape summaries, enrollment-watch, results summaries, and phase-transition rates.

Catalog `tool_count`: 14. Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns.

## Access
MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/clinicaltrials/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 50 tools: these 14 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists.

Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01):

- `ct_search` — Search ClinicalTrials.gov for clinical trials — find trials and look up a NAMED trial by keyword, condition, drug/therapy, status (e.g. 'Recruiting'), or phase (e.g. 'Phase 2'). Required: `query`.
- `ct_get_study` — Get full trial details by NCT ID (e.g., 'NCT04567890'). Required: `nct_id`.
- `ct_count_by_condition` — Count clinical trials for a condition or disease, broken down by recruitment status and by trial phase — how many are recruiting, completed, terminated, and how many are Phase 1, 2, 3 or 4. Required: `condition`.
- `ct_sponsor_trials` — List the trials a company LEADS on ClinicalTrials.gov, by sponsor or organization name. Required: `sponsor`.
- `ct_compare_sponsors` — Compare 2–5 NAMED lead sponsors on ClinicalTrials.gov under identical condition, recruitment-status, and phase filters. Required: `sponsors`.
- `ct_recent_updates` — Track recent ClinicalTrials.gov activity by a specific event class within a verifiable date window. No required arguments.
- `ct_trials_by_location` — Find clinical trials near a LOCATION. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "clinical trials for X near me", "recruiting studies in <city/state/country>", "trials I can join near <place>". No required arguments.
- `ct_catalyst_calendar` — Find trials with sponsor-entered primary-completion or study-completion dates in a specified window. Required: `from_date`, `to_date`.
- `ct_sponsor_pipeline` — Summarize a sponsor’s ClinicalTrials.gov portfolio by phase, status, condition, and intervention from a bounded relevance-ranked sample, while reporting the full matching count. Required: `sponsor`.
- `ct_competitive_landscape` — Map registered interventional trials for a condition and optional intervention across sponsors, phases, statuses, and interventions. Required: `condition`.
- `ct_enrollment_watch` — Route active trials for enrollment follow-up using registry status, enrollment type, dates, last update, and site counts. No required arguments.
- `ct_results_summary` — Project posted ClinicalTrials.gov results for one NCT ID, including registered endpoints, reported outcome measures, statistical analyses, and adverse-event group counts. Required: `nct_id`.
- `ct_phase_transition_rates` — Measure how often drugs for a disease actually advance from one clinical phase to the next — the registry-derived analog of a probability-of-technical-success (PTRS) benchmark. Required: `condition`.
- `ct_sponsor_activity` — Track a sponsor’s newly registered studies, first-posted results, or study updates within a verifiable date window. Required: `sponsor`, `since`.

Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-clinicaltrials -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/clinicaltrials/mcp`.

## Auth
Catalog `auth.shape`: `keyless`. Verbatim detail: "No key required — open upstream, callable as-is." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record).

## Rate limits
Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog.

## Freshness
Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: not measured — catalog says treat as unknown, not good.

## Known gaps
- Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`.
- No catalog notes on cost or licence.
- This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
