Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Advanced Cancer on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Advanced Cancer recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    45 of 123 indexed trials (36.6%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates Advanced Cancer research.

    M.D. Anderson Cancer Center accounts for 19 of 123 trials (15.4%). 79 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Advanced Cancer enrolment sits around 90 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 90 among the 123 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 65 of those (52.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Advanced Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    112 interventional and 11 observational studies make up this index (91.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
