How the Clinical Trials Registry Feed screensaver works
The saver reads real studies from ClinicalTrials.gov's own v2 API.
Each entry shows a real trial title, lead sponsor and status.
The pipeline refreshes on ClinicalTrials.gov's own daily update schedule.
No key is required for this key-less public endpoint.
What a ClinicalTrials.gov record represents
ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry of clinical studies run by the US National Library of Medicine. Section 801 of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 requires the responsible party for certain "applicable clinical trials" to register them and submit summary results, and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors requires registration before enrolment begins for studies it defines as clinical trials. The registry is therefore a public record of what has been attempted, not only what succeeded. Each study has a stable NCT number.
Entries are submitted by study record managers on behalf of the sponsor or investigator. They give the title, the lead sponsor, the condition studied, the planned design and a recruitment status such as not yet recruiting, recruiting, completed or terminated. This saver lists studies from the registry's v2 API, so the stream can mix brand-new trials with revisions to existing records.
A registered trial has not necessarily been judged on scientific merit by the registry, and a status of recruiting does not imply the treatment works or is approved. Statuses are updated by the people responsible for each record, on their own timelines. The content is a research record, not clinical guidance.
A worked example
A real study registered by a real research sponsor scrolls past exactly as ClinicalTrials.gov recorded it.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this real trial data?
- Yes — real registrations from ClinicalTrials.gov's own public API.
- Is a key needed?
- No. The v2 studies API is fully key-less.
- Is this medical advice?
- No — it is a real public registry feed, not medical guidance.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no download, in your browser.
- Does registration mean a treatment is approved?
- No. Registration only means a study has been listed. Regulatory approval is a separate process.
- Why do some trials say not yet recruiting?
- The study has been registered before enrolling participants, which is expected: ICMJE journals ask for registration before enrolment begins.
- Who writes the trial descriptions?
- Study record managers submit them for the sponsor or investigators, so wording and detail reflect their own account.
