Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Type 2 Diabetes on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-07-11. 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.

    103 of 289 indexed trials (35.6%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.2% average across 135 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 289 trials (6.9%). 140 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 289 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 145 of those (50.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Type 2 Diabetes research is mostly interventional.

    257 interventional and 32 observational studies make up this index (88.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
