Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Oropharyngeal Carcinoma 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. Oropharyngeal Carcinoma is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    5 of 8 indexed trials (62.5%) 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 Oropharyngeal Carcinoma research.

    M.D. Anderson Cancer Center accounts for 2 of 8 trials (25%). 6 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Oropharyngeal Carcinoma enrolment sits around 120 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 120 among the 8 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 4 of those (50%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Oropharyngeal Carcinoma research is mostly interventional.

    6 interventional and 2 observational studies make up this index (75% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
