NCI Clinical Trials Search API For information on NCI's efforts to improve how patients and oncologists find information and learn about cancer clinical trials please visit: https://www.cancer.gov/syndication/api

Usage

To use the ClinicalTrials API Client simply instantiate the client.

<?php

require dirname(__FILE__).'/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Tutor\ClinicalTrials\ClinicalTrialsClient;
$client = ClinicalTrialsClient::factory();

// if you want to see what is happening, add debug => true to the factory call
$client = ClinicalTrialsClient::factory(['debug' => true]);

Invoke Commands using the __call method (auto-complete phpDocs are included)

<?php

$client = ClinicalTrialsClient::factory();
$response = $client->query([
  'brief_title_fulltext' => 'diabetes',
]);

Or Use the getCommand method (in this case you need to work with the $response['data'] array:

<?php

$client = ClinicalTrialsClient::factory();

//Retrieve the Command from Guzzle
$command = $client->getCommand('Query', [
  'brief_title_fulltext' => 'diabetes',
]);
$command->prepare();

$response = $command->execute();

$data = $response['data'];

Examples

You can execute the examples in the examples directory.

You can look at the services.json for details on what methods are available and what parameters are available to call them.

https://clinicaltrialsapi.cancer.gov/v1/clinical-trials?eligibility.structured.gender=female&brief_summary_fulltext=%22diabetes%22

<?php

$client = ClinicalTrialsClient::factory();
$response = $client->query([
  'eligibility.structured.gender' => 'female',
  'brief_summary_fulltext' => 'diabetes',
]);

TODO

• Add all query fields
• Add some more examples
• Add tests
• Add some Response models
