Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors 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. Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    1 of 55 indexed trials (1.8%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors trials is spread across many organizations.

    Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins accounts for 6 of 55 trials (10.9%). 24 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 53 among the 46 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 33 of those (71.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors research is mostly interventional.

    49 interventional and 6 observational studies make up this index (89.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
