DecenTrialz offers a technology-enabled, pre-screening service to help individuals explore potential clinical trials based on preliminary eligibility factors. This process is designed to be secure, efficient, and participant-centered, serving as an entry point to identify research opportunities that may align with your medical profile and location.

Understanding the trial matching process

The matching process at DecenTrialz is structured to respect your privacy while providing a simplified path to research participation. It involves the following key steps:

1. Completion of the pre-screener questionnaire

Upon expressing interest in clinical trials, you will be guided through a brief questionnaire. This pre-screener collects general information such as:

• Age and biological sex
• Relevant medical history or current conditions (if any)
• Basic geographic details (e.g., ZIP code)

This step typically takes only a few minutes to complete and does not require access to your full medical records.

2. Matching your information with study criteria

Each clinical trial has defined eligibility requirements, also known as inclusion and exclusion criteria. These are determined by the research site or trial sponsor and may include factors such as:

• Diagnosis or symptom history
• Medication usage
• Lifestyle factors or risk exposure

Your responses are algorithmically and securely compared against these criteria to identify potential trial matches. Sensitive data is handled with strict privacy safeguards and used solely for the purpose of generating preliminary matches.

3. Viewing potential study matches

If your responses indicate that you may preliminarily qualify for one or more studies, you will be notified on-screen. At this point, you can review basic information about the studies and decide whether you wish to move forward to the next step in the process.

4. Referral initiated only with your consent

Should you choose to proceed, DecenTrialz will transmit your contact information — and only your contact information, to the research site associated with the selected trial(s). This referral allows the research team to follow up with you directly for:

• A more comprehensive eligibility screening
• Explanation of the study procedures and timelines
• Informed consent discussion, as required by regulatory standards

DecenTrialz will never disclose your complete health information, name, or location without your explicit consent.

Important considerations

• Pre-screening does not guarantee enrollment. Only the research team can determine your final eligibility after conducting their own assessments.
• Participation is voluntary at every stage. You are free to decline a referral or discontinue at any time, with no obligation to proceed.
• All decisions involve human oversight. DecenTrialz does not use automated systems to make enrollment decisions. All referrals and communications are reviewed under ethical and regulatory standards.

Key Note: DecenTrialz acts solely as a pre-screening and referral facilitator. We do not conduct clinical trials and do not make final eligibility decisions. Our role is to streamline the discovery process for participants while maintaining high standards of privacy, safety, and compliance.
