What Clinical Trial Signal is — and is not.
We are public-data research intelligence. That framing is deliberate. It governs what we promise, what we caveat, and what we will never claim.
What it is
Research
Public-data intelligence
A research-screening product built on first-party public sources: ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA, openFDA, FAERS, DailyMed, PubMed, SEC EDGAR, and global registries.
Audit
Source-backed signals
Every card carries a source, source URL, source timestamp, ingestion timestamp, and a caveat. Evidence is retained so users can audit normalization back to the primary record.
Intelligence
Business + research workflows
For consultants, journalists, investors, BD teams, market-access analysts, law firms doing discovery, and smaller biotech operators.
What it is not
Not a PV system
Not a pharmacovigilance system of record
We do not replace validated PV platforms used for regulatory reporting (E2B, individual case safety reports, regulatory submission workflows).
Not medical advice
Not medical advice
Nothing on this site is a treatment recommendation, dosing guide, or contraindication determination for any individual patient.
Not legal/regulatory
Not legal or regulatory advice
Compliance flags are informational checks based on public records. They do not determine legal compliance and should be reviewed by qualified counsel.
Not causation
Not a causation or incidence engine
FAERS, VAERS, and recall data are spontaneous reports. We never assert that a product caused an event, or that an event rate has increased, from these sources alone.
Universal disclaimer
Clinical Trial Signal provides public-data research and business intelligence based on sources such as ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA, openFDA, FAERS, DailyMed, PubMed, EDGAR, and public sponsor disclosures. It is not medical advice, legal advice, regulatory advice, investment advice, or a pharmacovigilance system of record. Adverse-event data may be incomplete, duplicated, unverified, and cannot establish causation or incidence. Signals shown here are intended for research screening and should be reviewed by qualified professionals.
Safety pages — Safety signal cards are for research screening only. They do not establish that a product caused an event, that an event rate has increased, or that any treatment decision should be made.
Compliance pages — Compliance flags are informational checks based on public records. They do not determine legal compliance and should be reviewed by qualified regulatory counsel or compliance professionals.
