Key findings

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

    7 of 16 indexed trials (43.8%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates GERD research.

    Mayo Clinic accounts for 3 of 16 trials (18.8%). 12 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical GERD enrolment sits around 85 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 85 among the 16 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 9 of those (56.3%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. GERD research is mostly interventional.

    13 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (81.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
