    The data is published under CC BY 4.0, commercial use included. Credit StatOrigin and the original publisher (ClinicalTrials.gov); the chart files already carry that line.

    Figures are facts read from the publishers' own documents. The documents themselves, their text and design, stay under each publisher's terms; follow the source links for those.

How this measure is built

Definition
Count of interventional studies whose record mentions CRISPR, base or prime editing, zinc-finger nucleases, TALENs or a named gene-editing product whose start date falls in the period. The region is a site country: a study counts for every country where it lists a site, so regional counts overlap and do not sum to the global count.
Measure
One slice of Clinical trial starts ( basis: clinicaltrials gov registry, counting rule: by start date, form: count, segment: gene ) . Total number of clinical trials initiated during a given period. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
Limitations
Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
Verification
Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
