Key findings

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

    52 of 85 indexed trials (61.2%) 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.

    Ohio State University accounts for 8 of 85 trials (9.4%). 54 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Suicidal Ideation enrolment sits around 100 participants.
