How long Pediatric Obesity studies take

Of 14 phase 4 interventional studies under Pediatric Obesity, half reached primary completion within 46 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 446 mo21–70 · 14 studies——
Interventional, no phase25 mo11–45 · 541 studies—25 mo11–45 · 539 studies
Observational52 mo21–132 · 96 studies—52 mo21–132 · 94 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.
