Started Oct 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2025, 9 months after the start.
Of 27 interventional studies with no phase under Cholecystolithiasis, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 96. This study's planned 9 months is below that.
