Counts describe the records included in the inspected platform snapshots, not the complete pharmaceutical market.

Coverage snapshot · October 9, 2026
MeasureCountDefinition
Company entries361Entries in the platform catalog; parent groups and subsidiaries are not necessarily consolidated.
Active trial records5,968Distinct NCT identifiers in Recruiting, Active not recruiting, Not yet recruiting, or Enrolling by invitation status. Active describes included registry statuses, not guaranteed present-day activity.
Distinct listed patent numbers5,706Unique base patent identifiers across the covered Orange Book data, excluding pediatric-extension suffixes as separate patents.
Patent display rows7,910Rows across substance groups; includes repeated numbers and pediatric extensions. There are 6,271 distinct identifiers when extension suffixes are retained.
Substance labels3,589Union of FDA and EMA lookup keys. These are not a harmonized count of unique molecular entities, products, or approvals.

Dates and exclusions

These totals were calculated from public datasets retrieved on October 9, 2026. The pipeline artifact reports a generation timestamp of 2026-09-26T21:46:59Z; individual company refresh dates can differ. The patent artifact reports 2026-09-27T18:48:33Z. Retrieval does not make every underlying record current.

Trial collection is limited by the company catalog and sponsor matching. Completed, terminated, withdrawn, suspended, and unknown-status studies are outside the active-status definition. Patent coverage depends on applications retained in the lookup and is incomplete; it does not include a comprehensive biologic patent inventory. The static profile pages cover a selected subset of the platform.
