ClinicalTrials.gov finds 4,266 studies for Schizophrenia. How that becomes 3,561 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Schizophrenia, and those it files under no condition that list Schizophreniathemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count

How long Schizophrenia studies take
Of 133 phase 1 interventional studies under Schizophrenia, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting, counting those still running.

| Observational | 47 mo27–102 · 136 studies | — | 53 mo26–114 · 114 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
