# TrialsViewer | ||
[trialsviewer.com](http://trialsviewer.com/) | ||
> TrialsViewer is an interactive visualization tool to explore clinical trial data - built for my capstone project at [Ada Developers Academy](adadevelopersacademy.org). | ||
|
||
### Built with: | ||
React/Redux, D3, & Victory. | ||
|
||
### Motivation: | ||
|
||
Clinical trials are a necessary and important tool used to test whether new drugs and | ||
procedures are safe and effective. Since 2007, new trials have been [](https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-110publ85/pdf/PLAW-110publ85.pdf#page=82) required to register their intent and methods with the FDA, but this data has historically been difficult to access. | ||
The **[OpenTrials project](http://opentrials.net/)** is trying to change that by making registered trial data from around the world easily available to the public. | ||
|
||
**TrialsViewer** is an independently created tool to explore the data available through | ||
the [OpenTrials API](https://fda.opentrials.net/search)** \***. The goal is to create a summary that allows you to compare drugs or procedures for | ||
a given condition by highlighting two components: | ||
|
||
1. **Gender**: Drugs regularly get approved without being tested on women, an "oversight" that can have life changing consequences. [It has been estimated that 8 out of 10 drugs pulled from the market by the FDA posed more of a threat for women.](https://www.drugwatch.com/featured/fda-let-women-down/) | ||
|
||
2. **Publication Rates**: Trials with negative results are twice as likely to remain unreported as those with positive results, leading to [a misrepresentation of treatment efficacy.](http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa065779#t=article) | ||

**\* IMPORTANT NOTE:** The OpenTrialsFDA API is only in its beta release, thus <i><strong>clinical trial data are currently incomplete</strong></i> on the 'Search' and 'Compare' pages. Check back or follow [@OpenTrials](https://twitter.com/opentrials) for updates! |
