Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Liver Diseases 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 Diseases recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    13 of 34 indexed trials (38.2%) 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 Liver Diseases trials is spread across many organizations.

    Duke University accounts for 3 of 34 trials (8.8%). 26 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Liver Diseases enrolment sits around 153 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 153 among the 34 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 15 of those (44.1%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Liver Diseases splits between interventional and observational designs.

    20 interventional and 14 observational studies make up this index (58.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
