Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Aging on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Aging is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    126 of 263 indexed trials (47.9%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Aging trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Florida accounts for 14 of 263 trials (5.3%). 132 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Aging trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 66 among the 263 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 166 of those (63.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Aging research is mostly interventional.

    228 interventional and 35 observational studies make up this index (86.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
