Key findings

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

    15 of 40 indexed trials (37.5%) 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. One sponsor concentrates Mood Disorders research.

    National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) accounts for 8 of 40 trials (20%). 27 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Mood Disorders enrolment sits around 174 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 174 among the 40 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 13 of those (32.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Mood Disorders splits between interventional and observational designs.

    24 interventional and 16 observational studies make up this index (60% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
