See how Clear Trials makes the job of participating easy.
Help participants understand what's expected and stay on track—so they can participate confidently without it overwhelming their life. Plain-language resources, 24/7 access.
The tools participants get today were designed for compliance, not for their actual needs.
Consent forms meet regulatory requirements—but most participants can't fully understand them. That gap drives questions to your coordinators and, eventually, dropouts from your trials.

How it works for your organization.
Upload your documents
Share your IRB-approved consent forms, protocols, and participant instructions. We accept PDFs, Word docs, or direct integration with your document management system.
We generate plain-language versions
Our AI-powered system—with guardrails designed in consultation with IRB professionals—transforms complex medical and legal language into clear explanations at a 6th–8th grade reading level. Every output operates within strict, contained boundaries with full audit trails and is fully reviewable before participants see it.
You review and approve
Every simplified document goes through your review before participants ever see it. You can edit any content, review complete audit trails, and maintain full control over what gets published.
Participants get access codes
Coordinators provide access codes at enrollment. Participants use them to see their trial information—simplified, searchable, and always available. Participants can also invite family or caregivers to see the same information—so their support network stays informed without extra coordinator effort. Questions get answered before they become phone calls.
The full participant job—supported.
When a participant logs in with their access code, they find everything about their trial in one place—framed around the jobs they need to do.

Built for compliance. Designed for participants.
AI Guardrails Designed with IRB Consultation
Unlike generic LLMs, our system uses strict guardrails designed in consultation with IRB professionals. Every output is contained, includes complete audit trails, and is fully reviewable before sharing with participants.
Document-Sourced Q&A
Participants type questions naturally—"Can I take ibuprofen?" or "What happens at my next visit?"—and get answers sourced directly from their trial documents. Fewer coordinator calls.
Caregiver Sharing
Participants can invite family members or caregivers to access the same information. Better-informed support networks mean fewer questions escalated to your sites.
24/7 Access
Questions don't wait for office hours. Participants access their trial information from any device, whenever they need it—especially before visits when questions spike.
Document Source Attribution
Every answer links back to the official source document. Participants see exactly where information comes from, and are always directed to their study team for clinical questions.
