Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Colorectal Cancer on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-07-11. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Colorectal Cancer is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    154 of 382 indexed trials (40.3%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.2% average across 135 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Colorectal Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 22 of 382 trials (5.8%). 217 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Colorectal Cancer enrolment sits around 132 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 132 among the 370 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 157 of those (42.4%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Colorectal Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    315 interventional and 67 observational studies make up this index (82.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
