Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Bipolar I 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. Bipolar I Disorder is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    10 of 27 indexed trials (37%) 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. Sponsorship of Bipolar I Disorder trials is spread across many organizations.

    AbbVie accounts for 4 of 27 trials (14.8%). 16 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Bipolar I Disorder enrolment sits around 195 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 195 among the 27 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 10 of those (37%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Bipolar I Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    24 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (88.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
