Key findings

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

    146 of 430 indexed trials (34%) 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 Lung Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 36 of 430 trials (8.4%). 179 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Lung Cancer enrolment sits around 89 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 89 among the 410 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 212 of those (51.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Lung Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    321 interventional and 109 observational studies make up this index (74.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
