Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis 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. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    15 of 24 indexed trials (62.5%) 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. One sponsor concentrates Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis research.

    Mayo Clinic accounts for 4 of 24 trials (16.7%). 15 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis enrolment sits around 80 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 80 among the 24 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 13 of those (54.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis splits between interventional and observational designs.

    16 interventional and 8 observational studies make up this index (66.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
