Status mix across the US ClinicalTrials.gov mirror

Every study in the mirror counted once by its registry status. The segments sum to 175,638 - recruiting is the open-enrollment slice the finder below uses.

What the lookup returns

Every trial has a base registry record. Deeper fields thin from there.

All 175,638 trials in the ClinicalTrials.gov mirror carry a title, status, and NCT identifier. Coverage narrows from there: not every trial reports a real target enrollment, a study phase, or a named primary outcome measure for the tools above to surface.

  • Real target enrollment (not open-ended) 98.8% 173,461

    A fixed participant-count target, excluding registry placeholders for open-ended enrollment.

  • Reported study phase 84.3% 148,130

    Phase 1 through Phase 4 (or N/A for device/observational studies that report it).

  • Named primary outcome measure 75.4% 132,465

    What the trial is actually measuring, not just that it exists.
