Summary

TrialMatch matches patient profiles against open trials using factors including diagnosis, stage, biomarkers and location, and provides match rationales and enrolment links. The NCI SBIR/STTR-funded project includes a prospective SWOG evaluation of whether AI-assisted matching improves physician awareness and patient enrolment; Mednet says the tool is available at no cost to its physician community.

Why it matters

Trial recruitment is a durable bottleneck in oncology, and the built-in prospective evaluation makes this a stronger deployment signal than a generic healthcare AI launch.
