49 Sathornsumetee and colleagues conducted a phase II trial, searching for biomarkers that could predict outcome and response to treatment in patients with recurrent malignant astrocytomas.
Trial searches performed in discipline-specific academic databases returned few articles of value.
References of included studies were hand-searched, and registers of clinical trials were searched (Clinical Trials, Current Controlled Trials, controlled-trials.com, National Health Service Research and Development Health Technology Assessment Programme (HTA), National Institute of Health, ClinicalTrials.gov).gov
For interruption trials, the refixation rate during the 0 30-s time period significantly correlates with each individual's average time cost (search time for interruption trials – search time for control trials), r(23) = 0 30-sp = 0.03.
This is a nonprofit organization that will take your wife's information over the phone and do a thorough clinical trials search for you, and mail or email you the results in a few days.

We searched the Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth Group's Trials Register by contacting the Trials Search Co-ordinator (7 June 2015).
Also, we checked the metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT) and the WHO trials search portal (both accessed 10 Feb 2014) using 'malaria*', 'falciparum', and 'Primaquine' as search terms.
Treatment classes and specific drugs were taken from this MEDLINE search and from the trials search of the Clinical Trials Registry to develop the systematic search equations for each individual treatment class.
