What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Alzheimers Disease on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-07-11. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.
-
Alzheimers Disease is recruiting below its size-band peers.
30 of 145 indexed trials (20.7%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.2% average across 135 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.
-
Sponsorship of Alzheimers Disease trials is spread across many organizations.
Eli Lilly and Company accounts for 8 of 145 trials (5.5%). 86 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.
-
Typical Alzheimers Disease enrolment sits around 107 participants.
Median target enrolment is 107 among the 143 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 66 of those (46.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.
