Key findings

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

    6 of 28 indexed trials (21.4%) 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 Malaria research.

    National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) accounts for 14 of 28 trials (50%). 9 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Malaria trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 71 among the 28 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 17 of those (60.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Malaria research is mostly interventional.

    23 interventional and 5 observational studies make up this index (82.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.

What to do with this Malaria page

28 registered trials, 6 currently recruiting, is a starting point for a conversation, not a diagnosis or a recommendation.

Trial and recruiting counts reflect ClinicalTrials.gov registry status as of the data vintage above; individual trial eligibility and enrollment status can change.

Every figure on PlainTrial is rendered directly from the ClinicalTrials.gov registry, no number is typed in by an editor. This Malaria condition card totals 28 registered trials; most-linked intervention PfSPZ Vaccine; top US site state Maryland.
