Finding clinical trial information has never been easier or quicker with the cTrials app by Visual Soft, Inc. The app can be searched by country with basic and advanced options available. cTrials can be used as both a research tool and clinical resource at the point of care. The app is also updated regularly, providing users with international clinical trials added to the databases within the past 14 and 60 days.

Read below to see how this worked when we targeted the hardest group of all: kids. Specifically, adolescent kids.
