Novartis: 265 sponsored US clinical trials, none currently recruiting.

Novartis sponsors 265 registered US clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, none currently recruiting, and 248 completed. 176 of these trials are in Phase 3-4 (later-stage) and 69 in Phase 1-2 (earlier-stage). The most-studied condition in this pipeline is Hypertension, with 11 trials.

Top-decile sponsor footprint

Novartis ranks in the top decile of sponsors by registered trial count (#126 of 15,742 sponsors by registered trial count). Volume at this scale usually reflects a long institutional pipeline, read phase tilt and therapeutic areas below before treating it as current-year activity.

Trial completion reliability score

C 75/100

248 of 264 decided trials (Completed vs. Terminated on ClinicalTrials.gov) reached their planned completion (93.9%), 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.
