searching-clinicaltrials from maziyarpanahi/openmed is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/searching-clinicaltrials@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Searches ClinicalTrials.gov for studies by condition, intervention, and recruitment status using the modern v2 REST API with cursor (pageToken) pagination. Use when the user wants to find trials for a diagnosis or drug, screen patients against open studies, build a trial-matching feature, or pull a trial corpus for analysis. Trigger keywords: clinical trial, ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT number, trial search, recruiting studies, eligibility, query.cond, query.intr, pageToken, v2 API. Pairs adjacent…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Searching ClinicalTrials.gov (v2 REST API)
Query **ClinicalTrials.gov** — the U.S. registry of clinical studies — for trials
matching a condition, intervention, and recruitment status. This skill uses the
**modern v2 REST API** (`/api/v2/studies`), which returns structured JSON and
paginates with an opaque cursor (`pageToken`), not page numbers.
The v2 API is **fully public**: no API key, no registration, no license barrier.
The legacy v1/classic API and the older `query_term`-style endpoints are
deprecated — do not build on them.
## When to use
- OpenMed extracted a diagnosis ("metastatic colorectal cancer") or a drug
("pembrolizumab") and you want open trials for it.
- You are building a patient-to-trial matching feature and need candidate studies
before applying eligibility logic (`parsing-trial-eligibility`).
- You need a corpus of trial records (eligibility text, outcomes) to feed back
into `openmed.analyze_text` for biomedical NER.
If you already have an NCT number, fetch the single study directly
(`/api/v2/studies/NCT01234567`) instead of searching.
## Quick start (real v2 API call)
Base URL: `https://clinicaltrials.gov/api/v2`. No auth. JSON by default.

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/searching-clinicaltrials@sha256:443174c068dbbb45The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
