ClinicalTrials.gov finds 2,573 studies for Hepatitis C. How that becomes 1,743 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Hepatitis C, and those it files under no condition that list Hepatitis Cthemselves. 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
- 2,573Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −632Filed under a narrower condition, counted on its own pageHepatitis C, Chronic 589
- −23List Hepatitis C as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection” (4), “Cirrhosis Due to Hepatitis C” (4), and “Hepatitis C Virus Chronic Infection” (3). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Fibrosis (5) and HIV Infections (4).

How long Hepatitis C studies take
Of 90 phase 3 interventional studies under Hepatitis C, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 9 mo4–22 · 45 studies | 6 mo4–11 · 28 studies | — |
| Phase 2 | 19 mo13–36 · 61 studies | 17 mo11–26 · 48 studies | — |
| Phase 2/3 | 25 mo14–51 · 14 studies | — | — |

| Interventional, no phase | 25 mo14–42 · 153 studies | — | 26 mo15–42 · 150 studies |
| Observational | 33 mo18–57 · 138 studies | 26 mo18–56 · 36 studies | 36 mo16–63 · 102 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
