Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Alzheimers Disease 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. Alzheimers Disease is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    35 of 150 indexed trials (23.3%) 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 Alzheimers Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    Eli Lilly and Company accounts for 8 of 150 trials (5.3%). 90 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Alzheimers Disease enrolment sits around 105 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 105 among the 148 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 70 of those (47.3%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Alzheimers Disease research is mostly interventional.

    123 interventional and 27 observational studies make up this index (82% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
