Key findings

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

    12 of 22 indexed trials (54.5%) 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 Gastroesophageal-junction Cancer research.

    AstraZeneca accounts for 5 of 22 trials (22.7%). 16 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Gastroesophageal-junction Cancer enrolment sits around 136 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 136 among the 22 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 8 of those (36.4%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Gastroesophageal-junction Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    21 interventional and 1 observational studies make up this index (95.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
