Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for End Stage Renal 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. End Stage Renal Disease is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    25 of 88 indexed trials (28.4%) 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 End Stage Renal Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    Vanderbilt University accounts for 4 of 88 trials (4.5%). 69 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical End Stage Renal Disease enrolment sits around 69 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 69 among the 87 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 50 of those (57.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. End Stage Renal Disease research is mostly interventional.

    74 interventional and 14 observational studies make up this index (84.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
