This section allows you to enter and update your current place of residence. Accurate location data is essential for matching you with clinical trials in your area and determining eligibility based on trial-specific geographic criteria, such as distance to study sites or regional regulatory boundaries.

Providing precise and up-to-date location details helps the platform:

  • Identify trials that are physically accessible to you
  • Calculate your travel radius and site proximity
  • Display site contact availability based on your region
  • Offer region-specific trial listings, where applicable

All location fields are required unless otherwise noted.

1. City, State, Country

This section captures your general geographic location and helps us filter trials accordingly.

  • City: Enter the full name of the city or town where you currently reside. Avoid abbreviations or local nicknames.
  • State: Select the appropriate state or province from the dropdown list. This ensures trials listed by U.S. state or Indian state can be matched correctly.
  • Country: Choose your country of residence from the provided dropdown menu. The platform supports trial listings across multiple countries, but matches are prioritized for your specified location.

Note: Do not enter a PO Box or non-residential address. Use your actual place of residence for more accurate trial matching.

2. Pincode

Also referred to as a ZIP/Postal Code (Pincode if outside the United States), this field allows the platform to perform exact-distance calculations between your residence and the nearest available research sites.

  • Ensure the Zipcode you enter corresponds to your current physical address.
  • If your Zipcode recently changed due to relocation, please update this field immediately to receive relevant match notifications.

3. Full Address

Your complete address may be used by the research site only if you proceed to referral and provide consent to share this information. Otherwise, it is stored securely and not disclosed.

  • Include your building name or number, street name, locality, and any other identifying details.
  • This information will not be shown to third parties or sponsors unless you opt into referral communication.
  • Having a complete address helps some trials calculate home-visit eligibility or determine reimbursement eligibility for travel.

Privacy & Security Notice

Your location data is stored securely and encrypted in accordance with HIPAA and other applicable regional privacy laws. You retain full control over when and how this information is shared. Location data is never made public or disclosed without your consent.

Key Note: Keeping your location details accurate is critical. Trials often have limited enrollment windows and may require participants to be within a defined travel radius. Incorrect or outdated location information may lead to missed opportunities or delays in the referral process.
