Key findings

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

    25 of 48 indexed trials (52.1%) 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 Thyroid Cancer research.

    Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center accounts for 12 of 48 trials (25%). 31 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Thyroid Cancer enrolment sits around 60 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 60 among the 47 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 28 of those (59.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Thyroid Cancer research is mostly interventional.

    35 interventional and 13 observational studies make up this index (72.9% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
