Retry with the smallest possible test query: one known NCT number, only the count or a few fields requested.

Add a page size limit to your real query, starting small, instead of relying on the default result set.

Narrow the search itself: put terms into the condition or intervention query fields rather than one broad full text expression, and add status or phase filters if your use case allows them.

Request only the fields you actually use rather than the full study record for every result.

Page through the remaining results using the pagination value returned in each response, with a pause between pages.
