Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Frontotemporal Dementia 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. Frontotemporal Dementia is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    11 of 23 indexed trials (47.8%) 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 Frontotemporal Dementia trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Miami accounts for 2 of 23 trials (8.7%). 22 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Frontotemporal Dementia enrolment sits around 102 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 102 among the 23 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 11 of those (47.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Frontotemporal Dementia splits between interventional and observational designs.

    13 interventional and 10 observational studies make up this index (56.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
