Key findings

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

    28 of 104 indexed trials (26.9%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Metabolic Syndrome trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of California, Davis accounts for 5 of 104 trials (4.8%). 80 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Metabolic Syndrome trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 55 among the 103 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 70 of those (68%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Metabolic Syndrome research is mostly interventional.

    88 interventional and 16 observational studies make up this index (84.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
