isrctn_search — Search the ISRCTN registry (isrctn.com) — the UK-based international clinical trial registry — by free text and/or by condition/intervention. Use for "studies on <condition> and <drug/intervention>", "trials of psilocybin for depression", or any UK/international trial not necessarily registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. At least one of query/condition/intervention is required. Combining condition and intervention narrows to trials registered under BOTH (an AND, not an OR) — a real zero means no ISRCTN trial currently pairs that condition with that intervention, and the tool says so explicitly rather than guessing. `status` filters on a DERIVED recruitment status (ISRCTN's feed carries no status field) computed from each trial's recruitment dates — see `status_basis` on every returned trial.isrctn_trial — Look up a single ISRCTN trial by its registry number. Accepts "ISRCTN12345678", "isrctn12345678", or the bare number "12345678". Returns title, condition(s), intervention(s)/phase, derived recruitment status, sponsor, funder, dates, countries, and a note on whether results have been posted.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
