Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 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. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    15 of 131 indexed trials (11.5%) 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 Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus trials is spread across many organizations.

    AstraZeneca accounts for 11 of 131 trials (8.4%). 82 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus enrolment sits around 70 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 70 among the 131 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 76 of those (58%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus research is mostly interventional.

    116 interventional and 15 observational studies make up this index (88.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
