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.
