# Parkinson's Pathways

> A free, family-friendly guide to every recruiting Parkinson's disease clinical trial. Currently tracking 510 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.

Selected content families expose clean Markdown twins (append `.md` to the URL) with YAML frontmatter, intended for LLM ingestion. Supported patterns: `/learn/{slug}.md`, `/caregivers.md`, `/caregivers/{slug}.md`, `/trial/{nctId}.md`, `/trials-near-me.md`, `/trials-near-me/{city}.md`, `/trials/{type}/{slug}.md`, `/insights.md`, `/insights/monthly/{period}.md`, `/pipeline.md`, `/pipeline/{slug}.md`, `/results.md`. Pages such as `/`, `/about`, `/trials`, `/match`, and `/digest` do not have Markdown twins.

## 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.
