Key findings

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

    27 of 124 indexed trials (21.8%) 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 trials is spread across many organizations.

    RAI Services Company accounts for 9 of 124 trials (7.3%). 62 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Typical Smoking enrolment sits around 165 participants.

    Median target enrolment is 165 among the 124 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 48 of those (38.7%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Smoking research is mostly interventional.

    113 interventional and 11 observational studies make up this index (91.1% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
