`ct_compare_sponsors`

Pack: clinicaltrials · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/clinicaltrials/mcp

Compare 2–5 lead sponsors on ClinicalTrials.gov under identical condition, recruitment-status, and phase filters. Returns full matching counts, a ranked comparison, and a small study sample for each sponsor. Use for questions like “who has more recruiting Phase 3 obesity trials, Novo Nordisk or Eli Lilly?” Counts use the registered lead-sponsor field; registry records do not establish asset ownership, pipeline value, or probability of success.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`sponsors`	array	yes	Two to five sponsor names to compare under the same filters.
`items`	string	no
`condition`	string	no	Optional condition or disease, such as “obesity”.
`status`	string	no	Optional status or comma-separated status union, such as RECRUITING.
`phase`	string	no	Optional phase or comma-separated phase union, such as PHASE3.
`sample_limit`	number	no	Representative studies per sponsor (0-10, default 3).
