Clinical Trials Navigation

The Clinical Trials Navigation Team acts as a bridge between patients and clinical research. Our primary goal is to simplify and streamline the process of participating in a clinical trial. UCLA Health’s public facing website is a user-friendly, searchable database of UCLA clinical trials and research opportunities. UCLA Health in conjunction with Carebox, serves as a central hub for managing clinical trial inquiries and referrals. This service matches patients to appropriate clinical trials through disease-specific questionnaires.

The clinical trial referral pathway features:

A public database of all clinical studies registered in OnCore, updated in real-time using information from both OnCore and ct.gov. Maintaining an accurate Recruiting Contact in OnCore will allow Carebox to connect inquiring patients to the correct individual.

A source for easy patient referrals and recruitment. Interested patients/individuals and UCLA faculty and staff can search by keyword, age group and study purpose, status, and type.

A user-friendly site for interested patients/individuals to search for available clinical trial opportunities and indicate their interest. Participation referrals will route to the study recruiting contact’s email inbox.
