Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study in the Treatment of Alcohol Dependence. (NCT NCT00805441)

NCT ID: NCT00805441

Last Updated: 2019-09-17

Results Overview

The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used in calculating the percent reduction in heavy drinking days. The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome. Recorded is the number of standard drinks that have been consumed each day during last 4 weeks. One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer \[5% alcohol by volume (abv)\], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv). Heavy drinking is defined as ≥4 drinks per day for women and ≥5 drinks per day for men.

Timeframe: Baseline and Weeks 4 and 8 and 12 and 16.

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had daily drinking assessed at the specified time points.

The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used in calculating the percentage of days abstinent (days where no alcoholic drinks were consumed).

With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome.

One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer \[5% alcohol by volume (abv)\], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv). Percentage days per month= (number of days where no alcoholic beverages were consumed/number of days in a month)\*100.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had daily drinking assessed. The numbers of participants censored are 4 for LY686017 group and 3 for placebo group.

The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used to assess the time to first heavy drinking day. The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome.

Heavy drinking is defined as ≥4 drinks per day for women and ≥5 drinks per day for men. Those who did not drink are considered to be "censored."

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had DrInC assessed at both baseline and post-baseline.

DrInC is a self-administered, 50-item questionnaire designed to measure adverse consequences of alcohol abuse in 5 areas: Interpersonal, Physical, Social, Impulsive, and Intrapersonal. All items for the DrInC are scored from 0-3 with higher scores indicating worse adverse consequences. Interpersonal subscale (10 items: scores range from 0-30) measures the impact of drinking on the participants' relationships. Physical subscale (8 items: scores range from 0-24) measures adverse physical states resulting from excessive drinking. Social subscale (7 items: scores range from 0-21) measures role fulfillment. Impulsive subscale (12 items: scores range from 0-36) measures sequelae of over drinking. Intrapersonal subscale (8 items: scores range from 0-24) measures subjective perceptions that may not be readily observable by others. Total scores range from 0-150, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms.

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had AUQ assessed at both baseline and post-baseline.

AUQ measures participant's feeling and thoughts about drinking, and uses a 7 point (1-7) Likert scale for each of 8 items (questions). Scores range from 8 (less urge to drink) to 56 (more urge to drink).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had BDI-II assessed at both baseline and post-baseline.

BDI-II is a 21-item, participant-completed questionnaire to assess characteristics of depression. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 (no depression) to 3 (very depressed). Total scores range from 0-63. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 6 and 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had BAI assessed at both baseline and post-baseline.

BAI is a 21-item participant-completed questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of anxiety. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0= not present; 3= present in the extreme). Total scores range from 0 to 63. Higher total scores indicate greater severity of anxiety symptoms.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had SF-12 assessed at the specified time points.

Short Form 12 (SF-12) is a 12-item assessment used to measure participant's physical wellbeing \[physical component score (PCS)\] and mental wellbeing \[mental component score (MCS)\]. The PCS score ranges from 0 (lowest wellbeing) to 100 (highest wellbeing) and is designed to have a mean of 50 and standard deviation (SD) of 10 in the general population.
