Key findings

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

    5 of 34 indexed trials (14.7%) 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 Dry Eye Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    Bausch & Lomb Incorporated accounts for 3 of 34 trials (8.8%). 27 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Dry Eye Disease enrolment sits around 183 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 183 among the 34 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 11 of those (32.4%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Dry Eye Disease research is mostly interventional.

    31 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (91.2% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
