Key findings

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

    30 of 86 indexed trials (34.9%) 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 Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder trials is spread across many organizations.

    Baylor College of Medicine accounts for 7 of 86 trials (8.1%). 45 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 49 among the 85 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 52 of those (61.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Obsessive - Compulsive Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    72 interventional and 14 observational studies make up this index (83.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
