In Dennis-Valentine/TidyTrials: This Package Is An XML Wrapper To Extract And Tidy Trials From ClinicalTrials.Gov

TidyTrials

This is the TidyTrials package. This package is essentially an XML wrapper to extract and tidy trials from ClinicalTrials.Gov. TidyTrials exists because clinical trials have a broad audience but the data is currently inaccessible to researchers who might be unfamiliar with parsing XML files (i.e. statisticians, geneticists and maybe some computational biologists). I have used this codebase/package as part of my PhD so I know the functions work. However, this is my first R package so I haven't abided to best practices - there is a stronger focus on scientific goals than operational goals. I intend to maintain the codebase and improve it as a side project, but the functions might occasionally throw warning messages.

devtools::install_github(repo = "https://github.com/Dennis-Valentine/TidyTrials",
