How long Muscular Atrophy studies take

Of 19 phase 2 interventional studies under Muscular Atrophy, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 240 mo22–43 · 19 studies——
Interventional, no phase22 mo9–37 · 174 studies—22 mo9–41 · 168 studies
Observational35 mo18–66 · 38 studies—33 mo18–66 · 36 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.
