Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Parkinson Disease 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. Parkinson Disease is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    135 of 298 indexed trials (45.3%) 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. Sponsorship of Parkinson Disease trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Minnesota accounts for 10 of 298 trials (3.4%). 165 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Parkinson Disease trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 55 among the 298 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 207 of those (69.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Parkinson Disease research is mostly interventional.

    226 interventional and 72 observational studies make up this index (75.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
