When to Use

Use this tool when you need to search clinical trials by study acronym.

uses the acronym field (protocolsection.identificationmodule.acronym) to find trials by their public short name. example: 'teton'. the api search is seeded with the provided acronyms to narrow results, then results are filtered locally to ensure the acronym field matches the requested value(s).

input:

• acronyms: one or more acronyms to search for (e.g., ['teton']).
• max_studies: maximum number of studies to request from the api.
• exact_match: when true (default), matches acronyms exactly (case-insensitive). when false, matches if any provided acronym is contained within the study acronym (case-insensitive partial match).
• fields: a list of specific fields to return in the results. if not provided, returns acronym_search_defaults (8 fields optimized for acronym discovery: nctid, brieftitle, acronym, condition, interventionname, phase, leadsponsorname, hasresults)..
