What is this?
PSCI Trial Matchmaker uses AI to match patients to actively enrolling clinical trials at Swedish Cancer Institute. Describe your patient in plain language — disease type, stage, molecular markers, prior therapy — and the AI searches all active trials and surfaces the best matches, ranked by fit.
FAQ
How does the matching work?
The AI uses publicly available eligibility criteria from ClinicalTrials.gov to evaluate whether your patient may qualify for each trial. It matches your description against inclusion and exclusion criteria for all actively enrolling trials at Swedish Cancer Institute and ranks them by fit. The Research Coordinator’s current notes are also checked and can override eligibility-based matches — so if a cohort has closed or screening is prioritizing a specific profile, you’ll see an update.
Why does Yente sometimes ask a question first?
For some cancer types, a missing detail (like molecular profile or line of therapy) would dramatically change which trials match. When Yente needs that detail, she asks before searching. You can always click “Just search anyway” to skip the question and see what she can find.
Why might results change over time?
Trial availability changes continuously — trials open, close, reach enrollment caps, or update their eligibility criteria. Every search pulls live data, so results will vary depending on when you search. Always verify current status with the trial team before discussing enrollment with a patient.
How do I share results?
After a search, tap the Share button next to the results. On iPhone and Android this opens your native share menu. On desktop it copies a formatted summary to your clipboard, ready to paste into Epic or an email.
How current is the trial data?
Trial data is pulled live from our database every time you search. Only actively enrolling and in start-up trials are shown.
What do Strong / Possible / Unlikely mean?
Strong — trial explicitly targets the patient’s mutation/subtype and line of therapy matches. Possible — patient could be eligible but key criteria need verification. Unlikely — wrong line, stage, or an exclusion criterion is met. Unlikely matches are hidden from the main results but mentioned if that’s all Yente could find.
Why is the chat limited to 6 exchanges?
To keep the conversation focused. If a 7th question comes up, start a new session — and for anything deeper, reach out to the trial team directly using the contact button on each match.
Who built this?
Built by the PSCI clinical trials team at Swedish Cancer Institute. For questions contact the trial team using the “Contact about this trial” button on any result.
