Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for GIST 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. GIST is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    2 of 9 indexed trials (22.2%) are open to enrollment, against a 46.5% average across 27,806 conditions with fewer than 20 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates GIST research.

    Deciphera Pharmaceuticals accounts for 2 of 9 trials (22.2%). 8 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most GIST trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 40 among the 9 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 7 of those (77.8%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. GIST research is mostly interventional.

    7 interventional and 2 observational studies make up this index (77.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
