Medical Disclaimer
Draft — last updated July 2026. Have this reviewed by a lawyer before publishing.
The short version: this site is a starting point for finding trials, not medical advice, not a guarantee of eligibility, and not a substitute for talking to a doctor.
1. We are not a healthcare provider
The Fiveash Foundation is not a hospital, clinic, physician practice, or research institution. We don't diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice of any kind. The trial matcher is an informational tool that helps you discover trials that may be relevant — it does not evaluate your personal health or eligibility.
2. Where the trial data comes from
Trial listings shown on this site are pulled directly from ClinicalTrials.gov, a public registry maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. We display that data as provided; we do not verify, edit, or endorse the accuracy of individual trial listings, and we are not affiliated with the trial sponsors, sites, or investigators shown.
3. Trial information can change or be wrong
- A trial's recruitment status can change after it was last updated in the registry.
- Eligibility criteria shown in a public listing are often summarized and may not reflect every requirement.
- A trial appearing here is not a promise that you, or anyone, will be eligible, accepted, or able to enroll.
Always contact the study team directly (contact information is available on each trial's ClinicalTrials.gov page) to confirm current status and eligibility before making any plans.
4. Talk to a doctor before making decisions
Never start, stop, or change a treatment, or decide to enroll in a clinical trial, based solely on information found on this site. Discuss any trial you're considering with your physician or care team, who can help weigh it against your specific medical history and current treatment.
5. Caregiver and support resources
Links to organizations like the Alzheimer's Association or Family Caregiver Alliance are provided for convenience. These are independent third-party organizations; we don't control their content and aren't responsible for the advice or services they provide.
6. In an emergency
This site is not equipped to help in a medical emergency or crisis. If you or someone you're caring for needs immediate help, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency room.
