Dyspnea clinical trials
The registry lists 894 studies for Dyspnea across more than 10 countries. 189 are recruiting or about to start. 292 of them are mainly about Dyspnea (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-10.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 1,112 studies for Dyspnea. How that becomes 893 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Dyspnea, and those it files under no condition that list Dyspneathemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 1,112Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −8List Dyspnea as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Dyspnea, Paroxysmal” (3), “Dyspnea Caused by 2019-nCoV” (2), and “Dyspnea During Activity” (2). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Dyspnea, Paroxysmal (3) and COVID-19 (2).
- −211Match it another way171 name it in the title, 14 in a keyword, and 26 by a synonym or other text the search reads.
- 893The count on this page9 of them list Dyspnea in their own words; the registry filed them under no condition.

How long Dyspnea studies take
Of 23 phase 2 interventional studies under Dyspnea, half reached primary completion within 41 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | 41 mo18–77 · 23 studies | — | — |
| Interventional, no phase | 13 mo6–28 · 282 studies | — | 13 mo6–28 · 266 studies |
| Observational | 24 mo11–46 · 125 studies | — | 26 mo11–47 · 116 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. How these figures are worked out
