Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 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. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    29 of 87 indexed trials (33.3%) 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 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    Sanofi accounts for 6 of 87 trials (6.9%). 62 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease enrolment sits around 136 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 136 among the 87 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 36 of those (41.4%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease research is mostly interventional.

    70 interventional and 17 observational studies make up this index (80.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
