CTE

The goal of Cancer Trials Explorer (CTE) is to provide an easy tool to explore cancer-related clinical trials data.

Installation

You can install the development version of CTE like so:

devtools::install_github("mrblasco/CTE")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to find cancer-related clinical trials that list a particular drug, e.g., aspirin, as treatment intervention:

library(DT)
library(CTE)
tbl <- find_intervention("aspirin") 
DT::datatable(tbl)

Source data

This repository pulls data from several sources:

• ClinicalTrials.gov

• Drugbank

• Drug Repurposing Hub

• TTD: Therapeutic Target Database

Cancer-related trials

The dataset selects only clinical trials that are interventional (as opposed to observational) and related to cancer (i.e., listing conditions with cancer-related terms).
