Trial Outcomes & Findings for Varenicline and Bupropion for Alcohol Use Disorder (NCT NCT04167306)
NCT ID: NCT04167306
Last Updated: 2024-06-07
Results Overview
B-PEth: Objective marker for alcohol consumption measured in blood, measured at every study visit. Analysed as mean reduction of PEth per treatment arm, mITT.
COMPLETED
PHASE2
388 participants
PEth is calculated as the mean value over the active steady state period (Day 21-Day77) compared to baseline (=screening visit value)

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Number of HDD by 14 days is defined as a mean over the 8-week steady state active treatment period (Day 21-Day77) . ( D21-D77)/4 in order to get a 14 day-period measurment.Population: modified ITT (mITT), defined as subjects taken at least one dose of study drug and documented at least one data entry.
HDD is obtained by the time Line Follow Back procedure, defined as ≥70 grams for men and ≥56 grams for women according to FDA's guidelines. Analysed as mean reduction in HDD share per treatment arm, for mITT

Timeframe: 77 day-interval. Mean difference between total scale score assessed at Day 0 and Day 77A 17-item scale with anticipatory and consummatory components of the experience of pleasure. The scale is used as a proxy to assess a hypodopaminergic state. Worse Outcome: A lower score indicates low experience of pleasure (=proxy for hypodopaminergic state). Better outcome:A high score indicates high experience of pleasure.
