The Terminology and Technology Task Forces developed a prototype dynamic clinical trials search engine in 2002 and, to date, 18 cancer centers have adopted the framework. These centers are now automatically providing data, in real-time, without any need to re-submit protocol information. Once available publicly, the search engine will provide current, accurate protocol information for patients and investigators.
For more details about the search engine, please view the following papers published by members of the Technology Task Force:
