Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Chronic Pancreatitis 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 Pancreatitis is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    22 of 43 indexed trials (51.2%) 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 Pancreatitis trials is spread across many organizations.

    Indiana University accounts for 4 of 43 trials (9.3%). 28 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Chronic Pancreatitis trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 66 among the 43 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 27 of those (62.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Chronic Pancreatitis splits between interventional and observational designs.

    26 interventional and 17 observational studies make up this index (60.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
