Disease Ontology

Collapse every synonym, subtype, and vocabulary variant into one canonical disease — so a single search finds every relevant trial

Monthly

MONDO (Monarch Disease Ontology)

33,700+ terms · 111,600+ synonyms

Community-maintained disease ontology providing stable canonical disease identifiers, curated parent/subtype relationships, and Orphanet-derived rare-disease flags.

Cross-Linking Architecture

ClinicaLister doesn't just store data from these sources — it cross-links them to create a connected intelligence network:

Trial → Drug Links

Clinical trials are linked to FDA and EMA drug records. Only verified links are shown — each with a confidence indicator and full provenance.

Drug → Substance

FDA and EMA drugs are linked to GSRS substance records via UNII codes, providing molecular-level data for each active ingredient.

Drug → Patents & Exclusivity

FDA drugs are enriched with Orange Book patent listings and exclusivity periods, enabling competitive timeline analysis.

Drug → NDC Products

FDA drugs are linked to their NDC product listings, showing packaging, labeling, DEA schedule, and marketing dates.

Trial → Device Links

Clinical trials are linked to FDA device submissions. Verified links include a confidence indicator and full provenance.

Device → GUDID

FDA device submissions are cross-referenced with GUDID records via foreign key relationships, providing device identification, safety, and sterilization data.

Device → Classifications

FDA devices are enriched with product code classification data including device class, medical specialty, and regulatory definitions.

Device → Safety

FDA devices are linked to MAUDE adverse event reports and recall records, providing safety signal data directly within the trial context.

Trial → EU Trials

US clinical trials (ClinicalTrials.gov) serve as the primary source, with CTIS records cross-referenced only when trials exist in both registries. This enables transatlantic trial tracking while maintaining ClinicalTrials.gov as the authoritative data source.

Trial → Publications

Clinical trials are linked to PubMed and Europe PMC publications through NCT number cross-referencing, providing research evidence context.

Trial → Canonical Disease (MONDO)

Every trial condition is resolved to one or more canonical MONDO diseases, so filtering for "Lung Cancer" automatically includes NSCLC, SCLC, adenocarcinoma, and every other subtype — with coverage continually expanding across the long tail.

More than cross-links — a knowledge graph

Cross-links are the surface. Underneath, every record resolves to a canonical identity, so the connections are consistent, confidence-scored, and traceable.

Canonical identities

Drugs collapse to UNII-anchored molecules (9,100+, 83% UNII-anchored), conditions to MONDO diseases, devices to GUDID — one identity per real-world thing.

Three-tier confidence

Every link is scored High, Medium, or Low confidence. Verified links are shown by default; AI suggestions wait for validation, and each is curated before it appears.

Full provenance

Every link records where it came from and how it matched — and structural guardrails keep contaminated links (placebo, counterions, look-alike drugs) out.

Data Quality

ClinicaLister maintains high data coverage against source totals. Data quality is regularly monitored through automated audits comparing database record counts against each source's published totals.
