Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Non-Small Cell 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. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    206 of 455 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 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    AstraZeneca accounts for 24 of 455 trials (5.3%). 242 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer enrolment sits around 105 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 105 among the 455 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 212 of those (46.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    414 interventional and 41 observational studies make up this index (91% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
