This edition of CT Lexiconʼs IBD library includes over 90 key studies. When you start using the Lexicon you will find all the studies indexed alphabetically, by the acronym or short name by which each trial is commonly referred, to help you locate studies more efficiently. Scroll through the entire list or use the index system to quickly navigate through the alphabetical listing.

As you browse the database of clinical trials, you can bookmark trials of interest for easy reference. Click the bookmark icon in the upper right corner, to select or deselect a study. All bookmarked studies can be easily accessed from either the home screen or from the filter settings. Bookmarked trials are listed alphabetically by trial acronym/short name. The app also keeps track of the 25 most recent trials you have viewed. As with bookmarked trials, you can access the list of recently viewed trials from the home screen or using the filter settings. The trials are list from most to least recently viewed.

As new trials are added by the steering committee to the Lexicon, they will not only be available in the general library of trials but will also be specifically listed on a page of new trials. As you view each of the new trials, they will be removed from the list of new trials but continue to be accessible by browsing all the clinical trials.

Whenever you enter the application, you will be notified if there are new trials available. If you have turned on application notifications for the CT Lexicon app, then you will also receive a notification on your deviceʼs home screen whenever new trials become available You can turn on and off application notifications in the appʼs settings.

The filter option includes quick access to the predefined groupings of trials accessible from the home page of the app – New Clinical Trials, Recently Viewed Clinical Trials, and Bookmarked Clinical Trials.

The filter feature also includes the ability to refine the trials that are displayed as you are browsing all the clinical trials. You can choose to have the trials displayed by study name (the default setting), author, journal that published the trial, and publication date (including start and end date options). With any of these options, you can further refine the list of trials to display based on disease, molecule, or brand.

Use the search feature to reveal a list of trials containing a specified term. Along with searching the information about each trial, the search feature will also search any notes that you have added to the trials. The feature will auto-suggest terms as you type and will carry out best matching in the case of alternate spellings.

The search will be conducted in context of the current filter applied to the Lexicon. For example, if you are viewing studies that you have bookmarked, the search will only be applied to the list of bookmarked studies.

Each entry will provide, as available, some or all the following information:

• Associated disease
• Molecule studied
• Associated brand
• Abstract: including background, methods, findings, and interpretation
