Key findings

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

    36 of 61 indexed trials (59%) 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 Cholangiocarcinoma trials is spread across many organizations.

    National Cancer Institute (NCI) accounts for 6 of 61 trials (9.8%). 46 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Cholangiocarcinoma enrolment sits around 110 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 110 among the 61 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 28 of those (45.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Cholangiocarcinoma research is mostly interventional.

    51 interventional and 10 observational studies make up this index (83.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
