Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Type 2 Diabetes 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 recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    120 of 328 indexed trials (36.6%) 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 trials is spread across many organizations.

    Eli Lilly and Company accounts for 20 of 328 trials (6.1%). 153 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Type 2 Diabetes enrolment sits around 96 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 96 among the 328 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 166 of those (50.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Type 2 Diabetes research is mostly interventional.

    290 interventional and 38 observational studies make up this index (88.4% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
