Welcome to the Jason Carter Clinical Trials Website
Our website helps patients find clinical trials. We currently offer patient-friendly descriptions of leukemia and lymphoma trials. Early in 2018, we will be:
Adding patient-friendly trial descriptions for other blood cancers and disorders
Making improvements to the search tool
Expanding our educational resources

There is diversity in our review committee by representing different diseases, treatments and geographic location.
Interested in reviewing applications for featured trials? Please follow these instructions:
I’m a researcher or health care professional: Complete this form. The review committee is currently full, but we update membership every 1-2 years.
I’m a patient or caregiver: Complete this form. Our Patient Education Project Specialist will contact you within 2 weeks.
How are applications scored?
Each trial will be scored by the review committee based on the following categories:
High Impact
Patient-Centered
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Focus
Accessibility
Not every trial will meet every measure, but the reviewers will be looking for rationale for why certain criteria were not met.
Reviewers score each category based on the rubric below. The threshold for approval is an average overall score between 9 (exceptional) and 6 (very good).
9 = Exceptional 8 = Outstanding 7 = Excellent 6 = Very Good 5 = Good 4 = Satisfactory 3 = Fair 2 = Marginal 1 = Poor
I’ve submitted a trial to be featured. Now what?
All applicants will be notified about the decision 4-6 weeks after the submission deadline.
If your application was approved, you can expect your clinical trial to be listed on our Featured Trials page for 2 months. Then, your clinical trial information will be moved to the Featured Trials Archive (webpage coming soon), until you have closed recruitment. Regardless of the outcome of the review, your clinical trial will still be listed and accessible through our search tool until recruitment ends.
Why do I need to apply to have a clinical trial featured?
We know there are many clinical trials designed thoughtfully with patients in mind. We want to help more patients learn about them.
We can’t make a fair decision on featuring trials by reviewing clinicaltrials.gov alone. This application process helps us get more information about the trial that’s relevant to the 5 categories.
We think that this process will fairly and transparently identify high quality clinical trials and help more patients and their loved ones learn about them on CTSearchSupport.org.
