A clinical trial is usually conducted in several centres simultaneously. It is said to be a multicenter trial. Although the expert centers such as University Hospital Centers (CHU) or Cancer Control Centers (CLCC) are generally the main places where clinical trials are carried out, they are increasingly opening up in peripheral or private medical centers.

With Klineo, patients can easily find the nearest center where the clinical trial is open by simply entering their address or that of their hospital/center.

A cohort in a clinical trial refers to a Specific group of participants in a clinical research study who share certain characteristics or specific inclusion criteria or receive the intervention according to a specific modality. Clinical trials may have one or more cohorts, depending on the purpose of the study and the complexity of the disease.

In so-called comparative trials (e.g. phase 3 trial), the results of the clinical trial are generally analyzed by comparing the results of the cohort receiving the experimental treatment (called interventional group) with those of a control group that receives either the reference treatment or the placebo (in the absence of a validated standard treatment).

Inclusion and exclusion criteria are criteria defined in advance to select participants in a clinical trial. They are used to ensure that participants are suitable for the study and to ensure the safety and reliability of the results.

Inclusion criteria are the characteristics that participants must have in order to be included in the clinical trial. Exclusion criteria, on the other hand, are characteristics that prevent participants from being included in the clinical trial. To enter a clinical trial a patient must meet all of the inclusion criteria and have no exclusion criteria.

It is essential to answer as many questions as possible during the Klineo search in order to match the patient's profile and pathology with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and to find the most relevant clinical trials.
