Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Mild Cognitive Impairment 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. Mild Cognitive Impairment is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    100 of 206 indexed trials (48.5%) 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 Mild Cognitive Impairment trials is spread across many organizations.

    Massachusetts General Hospital accounts for 9 of 206 trials (4.4%). 114 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Mild Cognitive Impairment enrolment sits around 81 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 81 among the 206 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 114 of those (55.3%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Mild Cognitive Impairment research is mostly interventional.

    168 interventional and 38 observational studies make up this index (81.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
