Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 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. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    47 of 103 indexed trials (45.6%) 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 Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Miami accounts for 7 of 103 trials (6.8%). 69 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 66 among the 103 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 62 of those (60.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis splits between interventional and observational designs.

    68 interventional and 35 observational studies make up this index (66% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
