Key findings

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

    79 of 284 indexed trials (27.8%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Healthy Volunteers trials is spread across many organizations.

    Takeda accounts for 16 of 284 trials (5.6%). 144 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Healthy Volunteers trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 48 among the 284 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 204 of those (71.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Healthy Volunteers research is mostly interventional.

    251 interventional and 33 observational studies make up this index (88.4% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
