| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interventional, no phase | 16 mo7–33 · 116 studies | — | 16 mo7–29 · 106 studies |
| Observational | 33 mo13–76 · 22 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.
