Key findings

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

    10 of 46 indexed trials (21.7%) 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 Plaque Psoriasis trials is spread across many organizations.

    Janssen Research & Development accounts for 5 of 46 trials (10.9%). 26 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Plaque Psoriasis enrolment sits around 165 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 165 among the 46 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 17 of those (37%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Plaque Psoriasis research is mostly interventional.

    45 interventional and 1 observational studies make up this index (97.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
