Stocks Weekly PharmaClinicalTrials

Weekly clinical trial activity mapped to pharmaceutical and biotech tickers.

82,950 rows over 1,122 symbols, 76 columns, covering 1999-09-23 to 2026-02-23. The most recent observation is 2026-02-23.

Why It Matters

This dataset brings clinical pipeline signals into pharma and biotech strategies by:

  • Pipeline monitoring: New trials, completions, or status changes are key catalysts for biotech pricing.
  • Risk assessment: Phase progression and enrollment updates help gauge probability-weighted success.
  • Event timing: Weekly cadence supports alerting and backtests around data releases and regulatory milestones.
