Key findings

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

    50 of 122 indexed trials (41%) 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 Renal Cell Carcinoma trials is spread across many organizations.

    M.D. Anderson Cancer Center accounts for 7 of 122 trials (5.7%). 87 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Renal Cell Carcinoma enrolment sits around 80 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 80 among the 122 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 69 of those (56.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Renal Cell Carcinoma research is mostly interventional.

    110 interventional and 12 observational studies make up this index (90.2% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
