Data from: The COVID-19 trial finder

Clinical trials are the gold standard for generating reliable medical
evidence, but patient search of relevant trials often suffers from
information overload. With nearly 700 COVID-19 trials conducted in the
United States as of August 2020, it is imperative that trial seekers can
search for COVID-related clinical trials efficiently to enable rapid
recruitment to these studies. We developed a web application called
COVID-19 Trial Finder, which facilitates COVID-19 trial search in the
United States, first by location and radius distance from trial sites,
then by brief, dynamically-generated medical questions to allow users to
pre-screen their eligibility for nearby COVID-19 trials with minimum human
computer interaction. A simulation study using 20 patient case reports
demonstrates the accuracy and effectiveness of the COVID-19 Trial
Finder.
