Key findings

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

    156 of 258 indexed trials (60.5%) 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 Opioid Use Disorder trials is spread across many organizations.

    Yale University accounts for 19 of 258 trials (7.4%). 127 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Opioid Use Disorder enrolment sits around 103 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 103 among the 258 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 121 of those (46.9%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Opioid Use Disorder research is mostly interventional.

    233 interventional and 25 observational studies make up this index (90.3% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
