Learning

If you are interested in learning about clinical trials, you can find helpful information at Australian Clinical Trials. This is a government-run website that provides a consumer guide to clinical trials and offers answers to common questions, including:

• What is a clinical trial?
• Who can participate?
• What should you know before joining?
• What concerns might you have about clinical trials?

Participating

If you are interested in finding and participating in a clinical trial, you can follow the instructions at How to search and then search the ANZCTR for trials recruiting in Australia or New Zealand.

Alternatively, you can also find clinical trials at the following websites:

• Australian Clinical Trials: provides a consumer-friendly search, using trial information from the ANZCTR,
• Australian Cancer Trials: focuses on cancer trials recruiting in Australia, using trial information from the ANZCTR, or
• World Health Organization trial search portal: includes information about clinical trials occurring elsewhere in the world.

Connecting

If you would like further details about a specific trial and eligibility criteria, you can contact the "Contact person for public queries" or "Contact person for scientific queries" listed at the end of the trial’s record.

Please Note: an ANZCTR user account is not required to participate in a clinical trial. Accounts are only necessary for study investigators registering their trials.
