A method and apparatus for filtering clinical trials using machine learning techniques is disclosed. An example method generally includes receiving a first set of filters that were applied to a first plurality of clinical trials with respect to a first patient. A system determines one or more attributes of the first patient and trains a machine learning (ML) model based on the first set of filters and the one or more attributes of the first patient. The system receives a selection of a second patient, determines one or more attributes of the second patient, and generates a second set of filters by processing the one or more attributes of the second patient using the trained ML model.
