Study to Evaluate AD04 in Adults With Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Selected Serotonin Transporter Polymorphisms

Summary

Participation Requirements

Description

Target enrollment of subjects with AUD who regularly engage in risk alcohol consumption (i.e. >6/day or more heavy alcohol consumption in the 4 weeks preceding the screening visit), and have selected genotypes (LL/TT genotype and/or 1, 2 or 3 of the SNPs on the genes for the 5-HT3 receptor subunits:...

Target enrollment of subjects with AUD who regularly engage in risk alcohol consumption (i.e. >6/day or more heavy alcohol consumption in the 4 weeks preceding the screening visit), and have selected genotypes (LL/TT genotype and/or 1, 2 or 3 of the SNPs on the genes for the 5-HT3 receptor subunits: rs1150226-AG or rs1176713-GG in the gene that encodes the 5-HT3A receptor subunit, and rs17614942-AC in the gene that encodes the 5-HT3B receptor subunit), and who are eligible to participate in the study based on meeting the remaining study inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive either 0.33 mg AD04 or placebo BID for 24 weeks. The trial will have a 16-week grace period to enable medication effects to be optimal for comparison with placebo. The grace period starts immediately after beginning of study drug treatment, in which consumption of alcohol is not counted as a failure. All primary and secondary efficacy endpoints will be assessed during the last 8 weeks of treatment (i.e. weeks 17-24). The primary measure of efficacy, incidence risk alcohol consumption, will be assessed over the last 8 weeks of treatment. To enhance study feasibility, subjects will be evaluated every week during the first 8 weeks of treatment and every other week for the remaining 16 weeks of the treatment period.
