ccess to <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em> will be added to the NLM Gateway in the Consumer Health category.
|
|
<em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em>
|
|
provides patients, family members, and members of the public current information about clinical research studies.
|
|
It includes
|
|
thousands of trials sponsored primarily by NIH, other Federal agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A clinical trial is a research study to answer specific questions about vaccines, new therapies or new ways of
|
|
using known
|
|
treatments. Clinical trials (also called medical research and research studies) are used to determine whether
|
|
new drugs or
|
|
treatments are both safe and effective. Carefully conducted clinical trials are the fastest and safest way to
|
|
find treatments that work in people.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The addition of <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em> to the collections searched by the Gateway will benefit clinicians,
|
|
patients and
|
|
their families, researchers, librarians, and the public. With a single search, a user will retrieve information
|
|
about relevant clinical trials as well as journal citations, books, MedlinePlus<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>,
|
|
and DIRLINE<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup> information about a topic. See the following search.
|
|
</p>

|
Access the NLM Gateway either through the NLM home page or by typing the URL:
|
|
<a href="http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov">http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov</a>.
|
|
Enter skin cancer in the search query box of the Gateway as shown in <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>.
|
|
Note that phrases should be placed in double quotes.
|
|
Click on the "Search" button or use the "Enter" key to initiate the search.

The Results Summary page shows results in all categories. (See <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>.)

<p>
|
|
In the Consumer Health category, Gateway searches five collections: three MedlinePlus
|
|
collections; <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em>; and
|
|
DIRLINE, a directory of health organizations. Click on the "Display Results" button next to Consumer Health.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The results from MedlinePlus display first. Go to the pull down menu for Pick a Collection, select
|
|
<em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em>,
|
|
and click on the "Jump to Collection" button.
|
|
(See <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>.)

|
|
</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Results page then displays items from the clinical trials collection. (See <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>.)
|
|
Each item contains the title
|
|
of the clinical trial, the condition(s) being studied, the URL that links to the <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em> Web page,
|
|
and the status of the trial.
