Why are some company names missing or listed differently in search results?

Why can’t I find certain company names?

We currently support a normalized company concept for 180 of the top companies sponsoring clinical trials. We are rapidly expanding our work to include a complete normalized list of top pharmaceutical companies across the world. If there is a particular company or organization you would like to see prioritized please let us know.

What about searching by synonyms?

We haven’t yet implemented filtering and matching company names based on synonyms.

Why do some companies have multiple variations of their name?

During clinical trials and early-stage investigation company names may be listed under a wide range of variations. This can cause a lot of confusion about who the actual sponsor lead is.

To make it easier to navigate through multiple variations of sponsor names we are normalizing our list. We’ve currently updated about 90% of them—that’s 832,765 out of 924,979.
