Key findings

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

    10 of 19 indexed trials (52.6%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) trials is spread across many organizations.

    Duke University accounts for 2 of 19 trials (10.5%). 18 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) enrolment sits around 97 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 97 among the 19 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 10 of those (52.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research is mostly interventional.

    14 interventional and 5 observational studies make up this index (73.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
