Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Binge-Eating Disorder 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. Binge-Eating Disorder is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    17 of 39 indexed trials (43.6%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates Binge-Eating Disorder research.

    Yale University accounts for 6 of 39 trials (15.4%). 26 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Binge-Eating Disorder trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 76 among the 38 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 23 of those (60.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Binge-Eating Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    36 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (92.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
