Tufts University sponsors 163 registered US clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, 10 of them currently recruiting, and 130 completed. 8 of these trials are in Phase 3-4 (later-stage) and 14 in Phase 1-2 (earlier-stage). The most-studied condition in this pipeline is Healthy, with 4 trials.

Top-decile sponsor footprint

Tufts University ranks in the top decile of sponsors by registered trial count (#180 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 74/100

130 of 139 decided trials (Completed vs. Terminated on ClinicalTrials.gov) reached their planned completion (93.5%), 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.

What is open in the Tufts University pipeline

10 recruiting of 163 indexed (6% open); 130 completed (80%).

Phase mix: 8 late (III/IV) vs 14 early (I/II) (early-phase heavy).

Top condition: Healthy (4 trials), 9 others listed.

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.

Tufts University: open-pipeline peers nationwide
