Key findings

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

    6 of 18 indexed trials (33.3%) 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. Sponsorship of Malnutrition trials is spread across many organizations.

    Fresenius Kabi accounts for 2 of 18 trials (11.1%). 16 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Malnutrition enrolment sits around 148 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 148 among the 18 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 7 of those (38.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Malnutrition splits between interventional and observational designs.

    12 interventional and 6 observational studies make up this index (66.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
