How long Cerebral Palsy studies take

Of 22 phase 1 interventional studies under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 130 mo13–45 · 22 studies——
Phase 339 mo33–59 · 17 studies——
Interventional, no phase12 mo5–31 · 921 studies—12 mo5–31 · 902 studies
Observational21 mo8–60 · 218 studies—21 mo8–60 · 214 studies

Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study.
