Whether you’re scouting clinical activity in mainland China for competitive intelligence, licensing or site planning, Biotechgate provides a structured way to identify trials involving Chinese recruitment or sourced from Chinese registers. With powerful filtering options and export tools, you can stay up to date on China-specific developments in your therapeutic or modality focus. Here’s how to refine your search for clinical trials based in China using Biotechgate’s intuitive interface.
Step 1: Navigate to the Clinical Trials Search
Start from your Biotechgate dashboard and click on the “Clinical Trials” section, containing over a million trial records sourced from public registries globally.
Step 2: Apply Country Filter
In the left-hand filter menu, scroll to “Country of Recruitment & Source Register” and select “China (Mainland)”. This will narrow your results to trials actively recruiting or conducting study activities within China, even if the sponsor is based elsewhere.
This is especially helpful for spotting multiregional trials where China is one of several recruitment sites.
Step 3: Filter by Source Register
To specifically focus on Chinese-registered trials, use the “Source Register” filter and select “Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR)”.
This limits results to studies formally registered in China’s own clinical trial portal, giving you insight into locally initiated trials, including academic or government-sponsored ones not listed in other databases.
You can also select multiple registers if you’re looking to compare activity across jurisdictions.
Step 4: Combine Filters for Specific Needs
Biotechgate allows compound filtering, so you can add additional criteria, such as:
- Therapeutic area (e.g., oncology, infectious disease)
- Trial phase (e.g., Phase I, III)
- Intervention type (e.g., biologic, cell therapy, RNA)
- Sponsoring company (to focus on domestic vs. foreign sponsors)
This layered approach helps zero in on high-priority trials for BD, partnership monitoring or site feasibility.
Step 5: Save Searches and Set Alerts
Once your China-focused search is built, click “Save Search” at the top of the results page. You can name your search and enable email alerts, so you’re notified when new matching trials are added to the database.
This ensures your intelligence stays current – especially helpful for monitoring new trial launches by competitors or potential partners in China
Step 6: Export Results to Excel
Need to share results with your team or analyze in Excel? Use the “Download to Excel” function to obtain your filtered results in spreadsheet format, including fields such as:
- Trial title (public and scientific)
- Primary sponsor
- Recruitment country
- Recruitment status
- Primary outcome
