Key findings

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

    4 of 26 indexed trials (15.4%) 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 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    Takeda accounts for 3 of 26 trials (11.5%). 22 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease enrolment sits around 104 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 104 among the 26 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 13 of those (50%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease research is mostly interventional.

    19 interventional and 7 observational studies make up this index (73.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
