Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Obstructive Sleep Apnea 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. Obstructive Sleep Apnea is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    66 of 157 indexed trials (42%) 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 Obstructive Sleep Apnea trials is spread across many organizations.

    VA Office of Research and Development accounts for 11 of 157 trials (7%). 96 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Obstructive Sleep Apnea enrolment sits around 76 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 76 among the 156 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 85 of those (54.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Obstructive Sleep Apnea research is mostly interventional.

    123 interventional and 34 observational studies make up this index (78.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
