Sourced, versioned,reviewed.

ClinicalMatchMate publishes plain-language explanations of clinical trials and health conditions so patients and caregivers can understand their options and prepare questions for their care team. Our content is educational. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment, or guarantee eligibility — see our Disclaimer.

We build content from public, reputable sources and cite them on the page. Primary sources include:

• U.S. government health agencies (NIH, NCI, FDA, CDC, MedlinePlus)
• The public trial registry at ClinicalTrials.gov
• Professional-society and clinical guidelines
• Peer-reviewed literature and established patient-advocacy organizations

We do not invent citations or statistics. Where a claim needs a source, we attach one; see our Sources page for the source categories we rely on.

We write for understanding, not for search engines. That means defining jargon, using approved framing for trial relevance ("may be relevant," "worth discussing with your care team"), and avoiding language that overstates certainty about outcomes or enrollment.

Condition and guide content carries a content version, a review status, and — once reviewed — a last-reviewed date and reviewer. New content ships in a preview state and is not indexed by search engines until it has passed review.

See our Medical review policy for how clinical review gates publication.

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, please tell us. We review correction requests and update content, its version, and its review metadata accordingly.
