Dystocia
ClinicalTrials.gov lists 98 trials for Dystocia or a narrower condition beneath it.
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)
49 of the 98 trials are tagged with Dystocia itself; the rest are tagged with a narrower condition beneath it.
When did Dystocia trials start? (21)
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.

Top of scale: 14
Trials registered with a start date in each year, 1990 onward, stacked by phase (complete years only; the current partial year is in the table's notes). The table below lists the same counts, most recent years first.
| Year | Trials started |

| 2026 (partial year) | 8 |
| 2025 | 6 |

| 2023 | 3 |

Forecast of the full-year count, planned starts included, not rows of this table: about 10 trials starting in 2026 and about 8 in 2027, the average of the 24 months through September, counted as registered and carried forward. The rows of this table count trials registered so far with a start date in the year, planned starts included; the forecast looks ahead to the count for the whole year, so it is not the same measure. In backtests on conditions of this size, forecasts made part-way through the year were typically off by about 28 percent and ran about 20 percent low against the count later registered; forecasts made before the year began were off by about 39 percent and ran about 37 percent low against the count later registered. These figures rest on a few years of history (target years from 2018 to 2025, varying by figure), place each condition as it is mapped today rather than as it was then, and score against a count for the newest year that was still being revised. Only condition series were scored.
Prediction, not a registry value: median of 31 months from start to primary completion across 9 trials still running at the 2026-10-09 snapshot; registered median of 19 months across 60 trials with a primary completion typed Actual. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov / AACT (CTTI), public domain.
