Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma 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. Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    14 of 46 indexed trials (30.4%) 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. One sponsor concentrates Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma research.

    National Cancer Institute (NCI) accounts for 9 of 46 trials (19.6%). 33 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma enrolment sits around 80 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 80 among the 46 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 27 of those (58.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma research is mostly interventional.

    45 interventional and 1 observational studies make up this index (97.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
