Key findings

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

    72 of 159 indexed trials (45.3%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.1% average across 139 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

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

    AstraZeneca accounts for 11 of 159 trials (6.9%). 107 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Gastric Cancer enrolment sits around 117 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 117 among the 154 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 65 of those (42.2%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Gastric Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    142 interventional and 17 observational studies make up this index (89.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
