How long Malnutrition studies take

Of 17 phase 4 interventional studies under Malnutrition, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 429 mo17–49 · 17 studies——
Interventional, no phase22 mo11–37 · 418 studies—21 mo10–37 · 392 studies
Observational21 mo11–40 · 186 studies—24 mo11–41 · 174 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.
