Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Child Development 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. Child Development recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    13 of 33 indexed trials (39.4%) 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 Child Development trials is spread across many organizations.

    Columbia University accounts for 3 of 33 trials (9.1%). 27 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Child Development enrolment sits around 199 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 199 among the 33 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 10 of those (30.3%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Child Development research is mostly interventional.

    26 interventional and 7 observational studies make up this index (78.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
