Key findings

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

    5 of 28 indexed trials (17.9%) 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. One sponsor concentrates Macular Degeneration research.

    National Eye Institute (NEI) accounts for 5 of 28 trials (17.9%). 22 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Macular Degeneration enrolment sits around 60 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 60 among the 27 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 16 of those (59.3%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Macular Degeneration research is mostly interventional.

    22 interventional and 6 observational studies make up this index (78.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
