Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Brain Tumor 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 Tumor is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    34 of 71 indexed trials (47.9%) 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 Tumor trials is spread across many organizations.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 6 of 71 trials (8.5%). 43 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Brain Tumor trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 43 among the 70 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 51 of those (72.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Brain Tumor research is mostly interventional.

    55 interventional and 16 observational studies make up this index (77.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
