Key findings

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

    57 of 189 indexed trials (30.2%) 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 Smoking Cessation trials is spread across many organizations.

    University of California, San Francisco accounts for 10 of 189 trials (5.3%). 84 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Smoking Cessation enrolment sits around 200 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 200 among the 189 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 71 of those (37.6%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Smoking Cessation research is mostly interventional.

    181 interventional and 8 observational studies make up this index (95.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
