Key findings

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

    86 of 342 indexed trials (25.1%) 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 Diabetes trials is spread across many organizations.

    Novo Nordisk A/S accounts for 41 of 342 trials (12%). 161 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Diabetes enrolment sits around 150 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 150 among the 339 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 144 of those (42.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Diabetes research is mostly interventional.

    263 interventional and 79 observational studies make up this index (76.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
