Key findings

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

    12 of 35 indexed trials (34.3%) 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 Communication trials is spread across many organizations.

    Johns Hopkins University accounts for 3 of 35 trials (8.6%). 26 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Communication enrolment sits around 312 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 312 among the 35 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 6 of those (17.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Communication research is mostly interventional.

    30 interventional and 5 observational studies make up this index (85.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
