Clinical Trial Information, Finally Built for Patients.
Only about 7% of patients with cancer join a treatment trial. Finding and understanding the options shouldn't be one of the reasons. ThriverDriver helps patients find cancer clinical trials with clinical trial search for patients built on ClinicalTrials.gov, with an optional Clinical Trials Physician Navigator. Free for patients.

The Participation Crisis
The Treatments Exist. The Interface Between Patients and Research Is Broken.
Thousands of trials seek participants every day, but regulatory registries were designed for researchers and biostatisticians—not patients confronting a diagnosis.
~7%
The Enrollment Chasm
Only about 7% of patients with cancer join a clinical treatment trial, leaving life-extending therapeutic avenues unexplored.
Unger et al., Journal of Clinical Oncology, April 2024 (ACS CAN & Fred Hutch).
Complex Interface
Difficult to Navigate
Researchers at the nonprofit CISCRP evaluated trial listings and determined the standard registry interface is “very difficult for patients, health care providers and the public to use.”
Moore, Edwards & Getz (CISCRP), Applied Clinical Trials, Aug. 2022.
Grade Level 18.7
Inaccessible Medical Jargon
Standard public-facing trial summaries routinely average a post-graduate reading level, creating a language barrier precisely when patients need clarity most.

How it works
From a registry full of jargon to a clear next step.
Plain-language clinical trials, built around clinical trial matching that respects your time and your diagnosis.
STEP 01
Tapping Directly into ClinicalTrials.gov, Reimagined for People.
ThriverDriver doesn't ask researchers to post to yet another fragmented job board or siloed database. We pull verified, up-to-date protocol data straight from the U.S. National Library of Medicine registry—and restructure the presentation so patients and families can actually read, filter, and understand it.
Registry record
Inclusion: histologically confirmed NSCLC, ECOG 0-1, no prior systemic tx... Exclusion: active autoimmune dz, EGFR/ALK+...

STEP 02
A Few Simple Questions. A Clear, Color-Coded Shortlist.
Answer a brief series of plain-language questions about your diagnosis, stage, biomarker profile, and travel preferences. Our physician-developed algorithm generates an organized shortlist:
On the free ThriverDriver, your answers are used only to build your shortlist. We never sell or share them with drug companies, study sites or anyone else. See our Privacy Policy.
- Strong FitProtocol criteria closely align with patient characteristics.
- Possible FitPotential match requiring verification with the study coordinator.
- Not Right NowNot a match right now, based on your answers.
Information, not medical advice. ThriverDriver provides educational information, not medical advice. Formal eligibility is determined solely by the trial site investigator and your personal physician.
STEP 03
A Clinical Trials Physician Navigator to help you narrow it down.
Meet one-on-one with a Clinical Trials Physician Navigator, a trained physician who is not your doctor and gives no medical advice. They help you think through your shortlist, narrow it to a few trials worth pursuing, and share the study contacts, so you can ask your care team better questions.
