Thousands of trials are recruiting patients like you right now — and almost nobody can find them. GatherMatch checks real trial criteria against your real records and labs, then explains every match in plain language — delivered as a simple text message. No app to download, no portal to check.
Trial matching is broken for every person in the room — the patient, the doctor, and the researcher.
At leading lupus research sites, 86% of investigators say most of their patients travel over an hour to reach a trial1 — when they hear about one at all. Registries are still written for scientists, not people.
That's the average U.S. doctor's visit.2 No clinician can track hundreds of recruiting trials and cross-check criteria patient by patient in that time.
Across North America's lupus trial network, 57% of investigators report difficulty recruiting patients1 — and in rare disease, nearly 1 in 3 trials is discontinued, with too few patients the leading reason.3
1 LUCIN investigator survey (n=114), Lupus Therapeutics / Lupus Research Alliance, J Rheumatology 2025 · 2 Neprash et al., Medical Care, 2020 — 21 million U.S. office visits · 3 Rees et al., PLOS Medicine, 2019 — 659 rare-disease trials, 30.2% discontinued, patient accrual the top cause
Instead of you hunting through registries, trials come to you — screened against your actual data.
GatherMatch uses the records and lab results already in your Gather account — no forms to fill out, no guessing at your own lab values.
Every match shows why you qualify, what the study involves, where it is, and what stage it's in — in plain language, delivered straight to your messages. No app to check.
Reply "share" and any match goes to your care team. You decide together whether it's right for you — always.
No dashboards to log into, no notifications buried in another app. When GatherMatch finds something real, it simply sends you a message — and you reply in plain words. Texts and calls are always opt-in: you choose how we reach you, and you can change or stop them anytime.
Matches come to you. A short message: what the study is, where it is, and why your records and labs fit — with the details as a PDF if you want them.
Reply to bring your doctor in. Answer "share" and your care team gets the match summary. You never navigate anything.
Questions? Just ask. Text or call and ask anything — "how far is the site?", "what phase is this?" — and get a plain answer back.
Join the waitlist and matching starts right away — as soon as you're onboarded and your records connect, GatherMatch begins screening trials for you.
Your submission was captured successfully.
Free for patients. Joining the waitlist never commits you to any study — every decision stays between you and your doctor.
GatherMatch helps you discover clinical trials you may be eligible for. It does not provide medical advice, and does not guarantee enrollment or access to any treatment. Final eligibility is always confirmed by each study's team, and participation decisions are always made by you with your care team.
