Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Stage IV 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. Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    4 of 24 indexed trials (16.7%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. One sponsor concentrates Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer research.

    National Cancer Institute (NCI) accounts for 9 of 24 trials (37.5%). 15 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 53 among the 24 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 18 of those (75%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    23 interventional and 1 observational studies make up this index (95.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
