Key findings

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

    50 of 198 indexed trials (25.3%) 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. One sponsor concentrates Overweight research.

    Eli Lilly and Company accounts for 37 of 198 trials (18.7%). 94 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Overweight enrolment sits around 120 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 120 among the 198 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 89 of those (44.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Overweight research is mostly interventional.

    182 interventional and 16 observational studies make up this index (91.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
