-
Lung Cancer is recruiting below its size-band peers.
146 of 430 indexed trials (34%) are open to enrollment, against a 37.2% average across 135 conditions with 100+ trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.
-
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.
-
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.
