Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Spina Bifida 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.

    9 of 17 indexed trials (52.9%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Spina Bifida trials is spread across many organizations.

    Grand Valley State University accounts for 2 of 17 trials (11.8%). 15 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Spina Bifida trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 30 among the 17 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 13 of those (76.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Spina Bifida research is mostly interventional.
