An information service, built for the moment before the call
Most people meet clinical research through a listing written for researchers. Orva sits beside that listing and explains it, then steps aside.
The listing comes first, and it is hard to read
A registry listing carries what a study team must publish: status, design, criteria and locations. It is accurate and complete, and it was not written with a first-time reader in mind.
Orva covers six areas of health that get less plain-language attention than most. For each one it explains what the research looks at and what taking part tends to involve, so that the listing makes sense when you open it.
What Orva does,
and what it never does
Orva does
Explain
- Explains six areas of research in plain words
- Opens live searches of ClinicalTrials.gov
- Writes guides that help with any study
- Sends optional updates by text or email
Orva does not
Decide
- Run, fund or choose any study
- Pass your details to a study team or sponsor
- Tell you whether you can take part
- Give medical advice or treatment
Four rules every page follows
Plain words first
Every page is written for someone reading about research for the first time. Clinical terms are explained where they appear.
Sources you can check
Orva points to the public register rather than retelling it, so you always read the current listing.
No figures we cannot stand behind
You will not find counts, success rates or payment amounts here, because those belong to each study to state.
Messages from Orva alone
Updates come directly from Orva. No study, sponsor or other company sends them, sees your number or pays for them.
