Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Breast 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. Breast Cancer is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    423 of 1,251 indexed trials (33.8%) 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. Sponsorship of Breast Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 98 of 1,251 trials (7.8%). 367 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Breast Cancer enrolment sits around 90 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 90 among the 1,225 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 630 of those (51.4%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Breast Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    1,015 interventional and 236 observational studies make up this index (81.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
