Overview

About

Maintained by Indraneel ChakrabortyCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

Are you spending too much time fetching and managing clinical trial data? Struggling with complex queries and bulk data extraction? What if you could simplify this process with just a few lines of code? Introducing 'clintrialx' - Fetch clinical trial data from sources like 'ClinicalTrials.gov' https://clinicaltrials.gov/ and the 'Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative - Access to Aggregate Content of ClinicalTrials.gov' database https://aact.ctti-clinicaltrials.org/, supporting pagination and bulk downloads. Also, you can generate HTML reports based on the data obtained from the sources!

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("clintrialx", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ineelhere/clintrialx")

Development version from ineelhere/clintrialx. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-clintrialx

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-clintrialx

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
