What Oncotics does
What is Oncotics?
Oncotics is a free, privacy-first precision oncology workspace. Type a gene, variant, drug, device, diagnostic, disease or trial ID and Oncotics works out what it is, asks the right public databases directly from your browser, and connects the answers: curated evidence, trials, FDA labels, approvals, safety signals, device clearances and approvals, companion diagnostics, protein biology and papers. Each result carries its source, retrieval time and a link to the official record.
Clinical trials
Search by gene, variant, drug, device or condition; filter by status, phase, age and location; read full study details.
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov
Drug intelligence
FDA labels, Drugs@FDA approval history, FAERS adverse-event summaries, enforcement reports, RxNorm names and chemistry.
Sources: openFDA, RxNorm, ChEMBL, PubChem
Devices & diagnostics
510(k), De Novo and PMA records, classification, UDI, MAUDE events, recalls and companion-diagnostic links — with clearance and approval kept distinct.
Source: openFDA device endpoints (may lag official FDA databases)
Biology
Gene and variant annotation, variant effect prediction, protein function, pathways, interactions, structures, cancer mutation frequency, target validation and GWAS.

How it works
How does Oncotics work?
Type anything
A gene, variant, rsID, HGVS, drug or brand, disease, trial ID, PMID, device number, product code or UDI-DI.
Oncotics interprets it
It lists every plausible interpretation with a heuristic 0–100 confidence score and the signals behind it, and asks you to choose when a query is ambiguous. It never guesses silently.
Your browser asks the sources
A small set of live public sources is queried first, directly from your browser. Deeper sources load when you open them.
Explore connected evidence
Move from gene to variant to evidence, therapy, trial, FDA record, device and paper. Compare, pin and export — all in memory.
When to use it
When is Oncotics useful?
- Starting a literature review or grant background on a gene or biomarker.
- Checking which trials mention a variant such as KRAS G12C, and which are recruiting.
- Reviewing a drug’s current FDA label, approvals and reported adverse events.
- Confirming whether a diagnostic is FDA-cleared (510(k)), De Novo, or approved (PMA).
- Looking up an rsID or HGVS notation and its predicted consequence.
- Teaching precision oncology with real, sourced examples.
Why Oncotics
Why was Oncotics built?
Precision oncology evidence is spread across many public databases, each with its own search, identifiers and caveats. Oncotics connects them in one place while staying honest: live data is labeled live, links are labeled links, fuzzy matches are never shown as exact, and every record points back to its official source.
It is private because health-related searches are sensitive. There is no server to collect them.

What Oncotics is not
Responsible by default
Educational and research use only. Oncotics does not diagnose, recommend treatments or dosing, determine trial eligibility, or give regulatory or procurement advice.
Computational predictions are not diagnoses, adverse-event reports do not prove causality, and openFDA device records may lag official FDA databases.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Oncotics?
Oncotics is a free, privacy-first precision oncology research workspace at oncotics.com. You type a gene, variant, drug, device, diagnostic, disease or trial ID, and Oncotics shows live public evidence about it — clinical evidence, trials, FDA drug and device records, biology and literature — in one place, with the source of every fact.
Who is Oncotics for?
Cancer researchers, clinicians preparing for qualified review, bioinformaticians, oncology pharmacists, clinical trial navigators, regulatory affairs and laboratory medicine teams, biomedical students and anyone learning precision oncology.
Is Oncotics free? Do I need an account?
Yes, it is free, and no account is needed. Open the Precision Oncology Workspace and start searching.
Does Oncotics store my searches?
No. Oncotics has no backend, database, cookies, browser storage or analytics. Your browser sends each request directly to the public data provider, and everything is cleared when you refresh the page or press Clear Session. Each provider may log requests under its own policy.
Where does the data come from?
From public, documented sources including CIViC, ClinicalTrials.gov, openFDA, RxNorm, Ensembl, MyGene.info, MyVariant.info, UniProt, Reactome, STRING, AlphaFold DB, Open Targets, cBioPortal, the GWAS Catalog, ChEMBL, PubChem, EBI OLS and Europe PMC. Sources that cannot be queried safely from a browser are offered as clearly labeled official links.
Can Oncotics tell me which treatment or trial is right for a patient?
No. Oncotics is for education and research. It does not diagnose, recommend treatments or dosing, or decide trial eligibility. Confirm everything with current guidelines, trial sponsors, regulators and qualified clinicians.
What is the difference between FDA clearance and FDA approval for devices?
A 510(k) is a clearance based on substantial equivalence, and a De Novo is a classification for novel lower-risk devices. A PMA is an approval for higher-risk devices. Oncotics labels each record with its correct pathway and never calls a 510(k) “approved”.
Can I search for companion diagnostics?
Yes. Open a targeted therapy and choose “Find companion diagnostics”. Oncotics shows statements from the drug label and device records that name the drug, each with a confidence label, next to the FDA’s official companion-diagnostics list, which remains the authoritative source.
What kinds of queries does it understand?
Gene symbols (EGFR), variants (BRAF V600E), rsIDs (rs113488022), HGVS (NM_004333.6:c.1799T>A), drugs and brands (osimertinib, Tagrisso), diseases (melanoma), trial IDs (NCT02296125), PMIDs, DOIs, UniProt and Ensembl IDs, 510(k), De Novo and PMA numbers, FDA product codes, regulation numbers and UDI-DIs.
Can I upload medical images?
Only on the separate Oncotics Imaging Workbench, after a consent step. Images are read in your browser memory, are never uploaded to or stored by Oncotics, and are wiped on refresh or Clear Session. Experimental AI inference there is opt-in, never automatic and not a diagnosis.
Does Oncotics give vaccine or fertility advice?
No. The Vaccines & Cancer Immunization and Onco-Fertility modules organize public evidence and official link-outs. They do not give vaccination, schedule, fertility, pregnancy, contraception or genetic-counseling advice.
What is the interpretation confidence score?
A heuristic 0–100 query-routing score showing how strongly Oncotics believes your query is, for example, a variant rather than a gene. It is not a probability and not a clinical certainty score.
Should I enter patient information?
No. Do not enter names, dates of birth, record numbers, device serial or lot numbers tied to a patient, genomic files or clinical notes. The workspace rejects inputs that look like personal health information.
