Paid studies may be popular among students, but now everyone — not just members of the Stanford community — will have access to the various clinical trials being performed at the School of Medicine.

Launched last Friday, clinicaltrials.stanford.edu is a compilation of all interventional clinical studies being conducted by University researchers.

The public can search for trials by condition/disease, investigator, department or usual text search on the Web site. About 1,000 clinical trials are going on at any time at Stanford, with 300 beginning or ending each year, said Steven Alexander of the Center for Translational Research in Medicine to Business Wire.

The new trials database also ensures that Stanford follows guidelines set up by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors in 2005 for public access to registered studies.
