Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung 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. Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung Cancer recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    10 of 26 indexed trials (38.5%) 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 Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung Cancer research.

    Amgen accounts for 5 of 26 trials (19.2%). 17 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung Cancer enrolment sits around 120 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 120 among the 26 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 12 of those (46.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Extensive-stage Small-cell Lung Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    25 interventional and 1 observational studies make up this index (96.2% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
