Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Opioid Dependence 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. Opioid Dependence is recruiting below its size-band peers.

    8 of 30 indexed trials (26.7%) 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. Sponsorship of Opioid Dependence trials is spread across many organizations.

    New York State Psychiatric Institute accounts for 4 of 30 trials (13.3%). 23 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Opioid Dependence enrolment sits around 100 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 100 among the 30 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 14 of those (46.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Opioid Dependence research is mostly interventional.

    26 interventional and 4 observational studies make up this index (86.7% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
