Module 5

Finding trials without drowning

Where trials actually live, how to read a listing without a medical degree, how to spot a red flag, and how to keep track of the ones you're weighing.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to search for trials, understand what a listing is telling you, and separate the trustworthy from the questionable.

There are tens of thousands of trials, described in dense medical language. That’s a lot to face alone. This module gives you a calm, repeatable way to find real options and read them with confidence.
