No forecast is made for this condition: it averages 0.8 trial starts a year over the five years to September, under the 5 a year the method needs.

Recruitment duration, a model prediction: 1 trial 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 Botulism trials? (5)

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.

These are the names sponsors entered on ClinicalTrials.gov that we have not matched to a single molecule. Some are drugs under a brand or code name; others are procedures, doses or arm labels.

Which serious adverse events do Botulism trials report? (1)

Shown in this order: most subjects affected first. Subjects affected summed across trials, a cross-trial signal, not a rate.
