Key findings

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

    1 of 15 indexed trials (6.7%) 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 Liver Disease research.

    National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) accounts for 5 of 15 trials (33.3%). 11 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Liver Disease trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 50 among the 15 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 9 of those (60%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Liver Disease splits between interventional and observational designs.

    7 interventional and 8 observational studies make up this index (46.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
