How long Sexually Transmitted Diseases studies take

Of 14 phase 4 interventional studies under Sexually Transmitted Diseases, half reached primary completion within 32 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 432 mo15–42 · 14 studies——
Interventional, no phase31 mo16–46 · 182 studies—32 mo17–47 · 172 studies
Observational26 mo15–49 · 47 studies—33 mo15–57 · 42 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.
