The information is already public. That is not the same as being usable.
Every trial Curova shows you is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, free, today. The registry is a genuine public good. It is also written by researchers, for researchers. That is where it stops being much use to the person it is meant to help.
What actually goes wrong
A patient is told, usually near the end of an appointment, to "look into clinical trials". What they find is a database of protocol documents. Eligibility is written as nested inclusion and exclusion criteria across lettered cohorts. Whether a study is open is not the same field as whether it is enrolling. A site listed in your state might be four hours away.
So the work of translation falls on whoever has the least capacity for it: a person who was recently diagnosed, or the family member who has appointed themselves the researcher. Meanwhile the oncologist who could interpret it has fifteen minutes and a full clinic.
None of that is a data problem. The data is there. It is a matching and explanation problem.
What Curova does about it
Curova reads the registry and answers a narrower question: which of these studies plausibly applies to this person, near this place, right now — and why. The why is the part that matters. A ranked list with no reasoning is just a shorter list of things you still cannot evaluate.
So every match shows its work: which criteria lined up, which did not, and which need a chart or a scan that Curova has deliberately never asked to see. That last category is the honest one. It is also the thing that turns a search result into a specific question you can put to your oncologist.
What we are careful about
Curova does not diagnose, does not recommend treatment, and does not enroll anyone in anything. It has no opinion about what you should do. Every study runs its own screening, with its own doctors, and that is the only process that decides eligibility.
We also do not ask for your medical records. Not because it would not improve matching — it would — but because a tool that people are afraid to use is not useful, and this audience has good reason to be careful about who holds their health information.
Who is behind it
Curova is built by a small team working on clinical data and trial matching. A biography is not the useful thing to judge that on. How the tool is put together is. Where the trial data comes from, what a clinician signs off before publication, and what Curova will never decide for you.
Have a look for yourself
The fastest way to judge whether this is useful is to search your own cancer type and read the reasoning on whatever comes back.
