Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for COVID-19 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. COVID-19 is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    68 of 299 indexed trials (22.7%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of COVID-19 trials is spread across many organizations.

    National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) accounts for 16 of 299 trials (5.4%). 173 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical COVID-19 enrolment sits around 245 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 245 among the 299 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 96 of those (32.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. COVID-19 splits between interventional and observational designs.

    196 interventional and 103 observational studies make up this index (65.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
