Key findings

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

    14 of 20 indexed trials (70%) 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 Retinal Disease research.

    National Eye Institute (NEI) accounts for 3 of 20 trials (15%). 13 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Retinal Disease enrolment sits around 81 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 81 among the 20 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 11 of those (55%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Retinal Disease splits between interventional and observational designs.

    9 interventional and 11 observational studies make up this index (45% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
