Key findings

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

    34 of 99 indexed trials (34.3%) 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 Colon Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    National Cancer Institute (NCI) accounts for 6 of 99 trials (6.1%). 73 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Colon Cancer enrolment sits around 110 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 110 among the 98 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 45 of those (45.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Colon Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    76 interventional and 23 observational studies make up this index (76.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
