Getting Started
Sign in, run your first search, follow trials, and read your dashboard — the complete first-run walkthrough.
What ClinicaLister does
ClinicaLister brings clinical trials together with the regulatory drug and device information attached to them, so you can discover trials, build a portfolio of the ones you care about, and get told when anything changes. This guide walks you through your first session end to end. Each step links to a deeper guide if you want more detail.
Sign in
ClinicaLister uses a single account across the platform. You don't create a password inside the app itself.
- 1
Open the app
Go to your ClinicaLister workspace. If you aren't signed in yet, you'll be taken to the ClinicaLister account page to log in.
- 2
Sign in with your ClinicaLister account
Enter your credentials on the account page. If two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, you'll be asked for your authenticator code before the app opens.

Land on Follow-Up
After signing in you arrive on the Follow-Up page — your home base. It starts empty until you follow some trials.
Run your first search
The Search page is where you find trials to follow.
- 1
Open Search
Use the navigation to go to the Search page.
- 2
Choose a saved query
Pick a query from the selector to load matching trials. Queries are reusable sets of criteria — you can create your own later (see Building Queries).
- 3
Refine with filters
Narrow the results by phase, status, condition, country or region, sponsor, and date. Switch between table and card views and adjust which columns are visible.
Follow trials
Following a trial adds it to your portfolio on the Follow-Up page so you can track and analyze it.
- 1
Select trials
Tick the checkbox on any trials you want to track, or use the Follow button on an individual result.
- 2
Follow in bulk
Select several at once and follow them all together. Use the "unfollowed only" filter to focus on trials you haven't added yet.
Read your dashboard
Back on the Follow-Up page, the Dashboard tab turns your followed trials into interactive charts — status, phase, sponsors, geography, linked drugs and devices, safety signals, and more.
- Click any chart segment to filter your whole portfolio to that value.
- Selections combine, so you can drill down across several charts at once.
- Use Clear Filters to reset back to your full portfolio.
- Switch to the Table and Map tabs for row-level and geographic views of the same set.
Turn on alerts
ClinicaLister can watch your followed trials and tell you when something changes.
- 1
Enable monitoring on a query
In a query's settings, turn on monitoring and choose how often you want to be checked in with (for example daily or weekly).
- 2
Review changes in the Monitoring tab
Changes show up in the Monitoring tab, grouped by severity, with a before-and-after view of what changed. See Monitoring & Alerts for the full picture.
