Key findings

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

    31 of 105 indexed trials (29.5%) 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 Schizoaffective Disorder trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Maryland, Baltimore accounts for 8 of 105 trials (7.6%). 56 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Schizoaffective Disorder trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 67 among the 104 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 66 of those (63.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Schizoaffective Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    99 interventional and 6 observational studies make up this index (94.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
