Key findings

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

    152 of 472 indexed trials (32.2%) 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 Hypertension trials is spread across many organizations.

    Johns Hopkins University accounts for 15 of 472 trials (3.2%). 195 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Hypertension enrolment sits around 168 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 168 among the 471 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 170 of those (36.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Hypertension research is mostly interventional.

    407 interventional and 65 observational studies make up this index (86.2% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
