Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Pancreatic 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. Pancreatic Cancer recruits in line with its size-band peers.

    101 of 283 indexed trials (35.7%) 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 Pancreatic Cancer trials is spread across many organizations.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 19 of 283 trials (6.7%). 165 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Pancreatic Cancer trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 60 among the 279 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 170 of those (60.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Pancreatic Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    237 interventional and 46 observational studies make up this index (83.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
