Key findings

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

    25 of 34 indexed trials (73.5%) 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 Metabolic Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Michigan accounts for 4 of 34 trials (11.8%). 25 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Metabolic Disease enrolment sits around 80 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 80 among the 34 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 18 of those (52.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Metabolic Disease splits between interventional and observational designs.

    19 interventional and 15 observational studies make up this index (55.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
