Key findings

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

    7 of 13 indexed trials (53.8%) 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. Sponsorship of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) trials is spread across many organizations.

    Ciprian Catana, MD, PhD accounts for 1 of 13 trials (7.7%). 13 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) enrolment sits around 118 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 118 among the 13 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 5 of those (38.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) research is mostly interventional.

    11 interventional and 2 observational studies make up this index (84.6% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
