Trial completion reliability score

F 42/100

597 of 736 decided trials (Completed vs. Terminated on ClinicalTrials.gov) reached their planned completion (81.1%), vs. national p10 68.4% / p90 100% among 1,234 sponsors with at least 10 decided trials. Still-open trials (Recruiting, Active-not-recruiting, Not-yet-recruiting) are excluded since they have not reached an outcome yet.

How open-pipeline share is computed

Recruiting share is recruiting_count divided by trial_count for this sponsor in the public registry export. Status can change between pulls; treat the figure as a research-attention snapshot, not product availability.
