# Parkinson's Pathways

> A free, family-friendly guide to every recruiting Parkinson's disease clinical trial. Currently tracking 507 trials.

## About

Parkinson's Pathways helps patients, caregivers, and clinicians find and understand Parkinson's clinical trials. Every trial is translated for families with a five-word goal, eligibility details, and nearby locations.

Two distinct content tiers are exposed here:

1. **PD Curated** — Parkinson's-only trials with AI-generated family-friendly summaries, five-word goals, geocoded sites, and recent site-change tracking.
2. **Universal Raw Mirror** — A larger, condition-agnostic mirror of ClinicalTrials.gov with no AI summaries and no editorial enrichment. Use this when you need source-of-truth raw data.

Every public page has a clean Markdown twin at `<page-url>.md` with frontmatter, intended for LLM ingestion.

## Key Pages

- [Browse All Trials](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials): Search and filter all 507 recruiting Parkinson's clinical trials by phase, study type, enrollment size, country, and age eligibility.
- [Trials Near Me](https://parkinsonspathways.com/trials-near-me): Find clinical trials near a specific location using zip code or city search.
- [Insights Dashboard](https://parkinsonspathways.com/insights): Visual overview of the Parkinson's trial landscape, including phase breakdown, intervention types, top sponsors, eligibility stats, and a global map.
- [Learn](https://parkinsonspathways.com/learn): Educational articles explaining clinical trial concepts, translated for families.
- [About](https://parkinsonspathways.com/about): The story behind the project and how it works.

## PD Curated — Learn Articles (Markdown twins)

Each article is available as both HTML (for humans) and Markdown (for LLM ingestion). Markdown URLs include YAML frontmatter with title, description, canonical URL, and publication date.

## Universal Raw Mirror (any condition)

A separate, condition-agnostic mirror of ClinicalTrials.gov. **Raw data only — no AI summaries, no PD-specific filtering, no editorial enrichment.** Use this when you want source-of-truth data with field-level change tracking.

- URL pattern: https://parkinsonspathways.com/agent/trials/{nctId}.md
- Authoritative source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/{nctId}

## Agent API

A programmatic API namespace for agents and downstream services is in the works. Entry point will live at `https://parkinsonspathways.com/api/agent/` and will expose change feeds, matching, and replay endpoints. Until that ships, retrieve content via the Markdown URLs above.
