Frequently Asked Questions
How current is the clinical trials data?
Clinical Trials pulls directly from ClinicalTrials.gov, which is updated daily by study sponsors. You get real-time recruitment status, phase, enrollment targets, and primary endpoints for registered studies worldwide.
Can I use the FDA drug info tool for medical devices, not just drugs?
Yes. Drug Information pulls from FDA labeling databases that include device-drug combination products and biologics. For pure device queries, pairing it with Deep Research to pull FDA guidance documents gives the most complete regulatory picture.
How deep does the academic research search go?
Academic Research searches across PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and other major scientific databases covering tens of millions of peer-reviewed papers. You can filter by date, citation count, and field to find the most relevant and authoritative sources.
Can competitor research find patent filings?
Competitor Research synthesizes publicly available information including patent databases, SEC filings, press releases, and regulatory clearances. It provides a strategic overview rather than exhaustive patent claim analysis.
Can I generate ISO 13485 or FDA QSR-compliant documentation with these tools?
The tools help you research, outline, and draft documentation — including process diagrams and literature summaries. Final compliance documents require review by a qualified regulatory affairs professional familiar with your specific device classification.
