Studies

Returns data of studies matching query and filter parameters. The studies are returned page by page. If response contains `nextPageToken`, use its value in `pageToken` to get next page. The last page will not contain `nextPageToken`. A page may have empty `studies` array. Request for each subsequent page must have the same parameters as for the first page, except `countTotal`, `pageSize`, and `pageToken` parameters. If neither queries nor filters are set, all studies will be returned. If any query parameter contains only NCT IDs (comma- and/or space-separated), filters are ignored. `query.*` parameters are in [Essie expression syntax](/find-studies/constructing-complex-search-queries). Those parameters affect ranking of studies, if sorted by relevance. See `sort` parameter for details. `filter.*` and `postFilter.*` parameters have same effect as there is no aggregation calculation. Both are available just to simplify applying parameters from search request. Both do not affect ranking of studies. Note: When trying JSON format in your browser, do not set too large `pageSize` parameter, if `fields` is unlimited. That may return too much data for the browser to parse and render.

filter.overallStatusarrayOptional

Filter by comma- or pipe-separated list of statuses

filter.geostringOptional

Filter by geo-function. Currently only distance function is supported. Format: `distance(latitude,longitude,distance)`

filter.idsarrayOptional

Filter by comma- or pipe-separated list of NCT IDs (a.k.a. ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers). The provided IDs will be searched in [NCTId](data-api/about-api/study-data-structure#NCTId) and [NCTIdAlias](data-api/about-api/study-data-structure#NCTIdAlias) fields.

filter.advancedstringOptional

Filter by query in [Essie expression syntax](/find-studies/constructing-complex-search-queries)

postFilter.overallStatusarrayOptional

Filter by comma- or pipe-separated list of statuses

aggFiltersstringOptional

Apply aggregation filters, aggregation counts will not be provided. The value is comma- or pipe-separated list of pairs `filter_id`:`space-separated list of option keys` for the checked options.

geoDecaystringOptional

Set proximity factor by distance from `filter.geo` location to the closest [LocationGeoPoint](/data-api/about-api/study-data-structure#LocationGeoPoint) of a study. Ignored, if `filter.geo` parameter is not set or response contains more than 10,000 studies.

fieldsstringOptional

If specified, must be non-empty comma- or pipe-separated list of fields to return. If unspecified, all fields will be returned. Order of the fields does not matter. For `csv` format, specify list of columns. The column names are available on [CSV Download](/data-api/about-api/csv-download). For `json` format, every list item is either area name, piece name, field name, or special name. If a piece or a field is a branch node, all descendant fields will be included. All area names are available on [Search Areas](/data-api/about-api/search-areas), the piece and field names — on [Data Structure](/data-api/about-api/study-data-structure) and also can be retrieved at `/studies/metadata` endpoint. There is a special name, `@query`, which expands to all fields queried by search.

sortarrayOptional

Comma- or pipe-separated list of sorting options of the studies. The returning studies are not sorted by default for a performance reason. Every list item contains a field/piece name and an optional sort direction (`asc` for ascending or `desc` for descending) after colon character. All piece and field names can be found on [Data Structure](/data-api/about-api/study-data-structure) and also can be retrieved at `/studies/metadata` endpoint. Currently, only date and numeric fields are allowed for sorting. There is a special "field" `@relevance` to sort by relevance to a search query. Studies missing sort field are always last. Default sort direction: * Date field - `desc` * Numeric field - `asc` * `@relevance` - `desc`

pageTokenstringOptional

Token to get next page. Set it to a `nextPageToken` value returned with the previous page in JSON format. For CSV, it can be found in `x-next-page-token` response header. Do not specify it for first page.
