clinicaltrials-api

clinicaltrials-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wentorai/research-plugins. It costs 11 tokens per session (1,834 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A programming interface for searching ClinicalTrials.gov, a public registry of clinical studies around the world. It returns structured information such as trial status, eligibility rules, locations, outcomes, and results when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find recruiting trials, review studies for research, monitor clinical-trial activity, or collect data for evidence reviews and public-health analysis.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching and copying information from a large clinical-trial database. Queries can narrow studies by condition, treatment, sponsor, location, phase, or status.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

clinicaltrials-api scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

ClinicalTrials API Guide

Overview

ClinicalTrials.gov is a registry and results database of publicly and privately supported clinical studies conducted around the world, maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It contains registration records for over 500,000 clinical trials from more than 220 countries, making it the largest and most comprehensive clinical trial registry in the world.

The ClinicalTrials.gov API provides programmatic access to this vast repository of clinical trial data. Researchers can search for trials by condition, intervention, sponsor, location, phase, status, and many other criteria. The API returns detailed structured data including study design, eligibility criteria, outcome measures, enrollment information, study contacts, and results when available.

Clinical researchers, pharmaceutical companies, systematic reviewers, epidemiologists, public health officials, patient advocacy groups, and health policy analysts use the ClinicalTrials.gov API to monitor the clinical trial landscape, identify recruiting studies, conduct meta-analyses, analyze research trends, and ensure comprehensive evidence coverage in systematic reviews. The database is a critical resource for evidence-based medicine and regulatory compliance.

Authentication

No authentication required. The ClinicalTrials.gov API is freely accessible without any API key, token, or registration. All endpoints are publicly available. Users are expected to comply with the NCBI usage policies and make requests at a reasonable rate.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
