Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of daily doses of RDC-0313 (ALKS 33) compared with placebo in adults with binge-eating disorder (BED). An additional objective is to explore the efficacy of RDC-0313 treatment in comparison with placebo in adults with binge-eating disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Following screening, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to RDC-0313 (ALKS 33) or matching placebo. Once-daily at-home dosing will begin at randomization and will continue for 6 weeks. There will be 8 study visits over a 12-week study period. On an ongoing basis, subjects will complete a take-home binge diary designed to record the number of binge-eating episodes (binge episodes) and binge-eating days (binge days, days during which at least 1 binge occurred), as well as snacks and meals consumed daily over each 7-day period.
