GlaxoSmithKline, Boehringer Ingelheim, NCI, Sanofi, and AstraZeneca dominate the sponsor debt table.
That is the chronic-stock view of the sponsor backlog.

Boehringer Ingelheim and several smaller but still sizeable sponsor portfolios carry extremely old unresolved studies.
Debt stock and mean age need to be read together.

The same sponsors driving overdue debt also hold very large raw missing-results stock.
That is why the sponsor debt table extends rather than replaces the count table.
