Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma 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. Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    16 of 29 indexed trials (55.2%) 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 Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma research.

    Nationwide Children's Hospital accounts for 6 of 29 trials (20.7%). 21 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 37 among the 29 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 20 of those (69%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma research is mostly interventional.

    26 interventional and 3 observational studies make up this index (89.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
