What the source says

Immunology trial starts reduced slightly in Phase III, by 4% from 2024 to 2025, but a 14% increase in Phase II starts was attenuated by a 13% decrease in Phase I; however, immunology has been a high-growth area over the longer term.

Verbatim extraction verified: The figure -4% is directly attested in the quoted passage (Exhibit 18: Clinical trial starts by year and phase, 2016–2025).

The figure above was extracted from this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
