Key findings

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

    33 of 91 indexed trials (36.3%) 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 Sepsis trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of Florida accounts for 7 of 91 trials (7.7%). 65 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Sepsis enrolment sits around 186 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 186 among the 91 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 35 of those (38.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Sepsis splits between interventional and observational designs.

    46 interventional and 45 observational studies make up this index (50.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
