# Create Clinical Trials

* Users can create clinical trial records when they need to add a clinical trial or edit information about a clinical trial present in an external knowledge base.
* Two ways to create clinical trials: from scratch or by editing external knowledge base assertions.

## Creating Clinical Trials

From scratch:

* Navigate to the Biomarker Details page.
* Select **Create New Assertion** in the top-right corner or under the list of variant assertions to be included in the report.
* In the **Clinical Trial** tab, add information to the fields described below.

From an external knowledge base:

* Navigate to the Biomarker Details page.
* Select a clinical trial from an external knowledge base (e.g., CKB).
* Select **Copy to new assertion** in the menu next to "Report".
* Add and edit information in the fields described below.
