ClinicalTrials.gov lists 64 trials for Albinism or a narrower condition beneath it. National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has the most among industry and government lead sponsors, with 7.
Search trials, drugs, companies and investigators, and follow each one to the others. Individual plan, $249/seat/mo. Card required.
Trials per phase (log scale)
17 of the 64 trials are tagged with Albinism itself; the rest are tagged with a narrower condition beneath it.
When did Albinism trials start? (22)
Shown in this order: most recent first, 1990 onwards. 2026 is partial: trials registered with a 2026 start date so far, not a full year.
Trials over time, by phase

No forecast is made for this condition: it averages 2.8 trial starts a year over the five years to September, under the 5 a year the method needs.
Recruitment duration, a model prediction: 3 trials still running at the 2026-10-09 snapshot, fewer than the 5 needed for a median. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov / AACT (CTTI), public domain.

Which lead sponsors run the most Albinism trials? (7)
Shown in this order: most trials first. Lead sponsors the registry classes as industry, NIH, US federal, other government or network. A hospital or university the registry files as government can appear here. Sponsors it classes as academic or other are shown on the full page, because that class cannot separate an institution from a named investigator.
| Sponsor | Trials |
|---|---|
| National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) | 7 |
| Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild | 3 |
| National Eye Institute (NEI) | 3 |
| AB Science | 2 |
| National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) | 2 |
Showing 5 of 7 sponsors.
