Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Alcohol Use Disorder 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. Alcohol Use Disorder is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    109 of 185 indexed trials (58.9%) 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 Alcohol Use Disorder trials is spread across many organizations.

    Yale University accounts for 13 of 185 trials (7%). 91 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Alcohol Use Disorder enrolment sits around 90 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 90 among the 185 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 99 of those (53.5%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Alcohol Use Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    173 interventional and 12 observational studies make up this index (93.5% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
