Key findings

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

    17 of 48 indexed trials (35.4%) 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 Pneumonia trials is spread across many organizations.

    National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) accounts for 3 of 48 trials (6.3%). 38 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Pneumonia enrolment sits around 168 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 168 among the 48 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 19 of those (39.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Pneumonia research is mostly interventional.

    36 interventional and 12 observational studies make up this index (75% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
