How HopeStage Research works

HopeStage Research gathers public information about mental health clinical trials, makes it easier to search, and explains key details in plain English.

Explore recruiting studies

A starting point, not a medical decision

The platform helps people find studies that may be relevant to explore. It does not replace medical advice, recommend treatment, or decide eligibility.

Information from public registries

Each study page is based on official public sources such as ClinicalTrials.gov when available. HopeStage links back to those sources so people can verify status, criteria, locations, and contacts.

Search designed for people with lived experience

You can search by condition, country, recruitment status, age, study type, sponsor, or keyword. The goal is to help you prepare better questions for your care team or the research team.

Why should I check the official source?
