A Study of Brenipatide in Participants With Moderate-to-Severe Alcohol Use Disorder
This research study is investigating a new medication called brenipatide for individuals dealing with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. The main goal is to find out if brenipatide is both safe and helpful when compared to a placebo, which is an inactive substance that looks just like the real medication. Participants will be involved for about 56 weeks. This study aims to help those who are motivated to reduce or stop their alcohol consumption. By participating, you would be helping researchers understand if this new treatment could be a valuable option for many people in the future.
A colpo d'occhio
Di cosa tratta questo studio?
This study is about a new medicine called brenipatide, and how it might help people who struggle with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder. Alcohol use disorder is a condition where a person has trouble controlling their drinking, even when it causes problems in their life. The researchers want to see if brenipatide can help people cut down or stop drinking, and if it's safe to use.
To find this out, they will compare brenipatide with a 'placebo.' A placebo is a dummy pill or injection that doesn't contain any active medicine. This helps the researchers understand if the changes people experience are truly due to the medicine or something else. Half of the people in the study will get brenipatide, and the other half will get the placebo. Neither you nor your study doctor will know which one you are receiving.
This is a 'Phase 3' study, which means the medicine has already been tested in smaller groups of people and shown some promise. This larger study is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness before it can potentially be made available to more people. Taking part could help improve treatments for alcohol use disorder.

Chi può essere idoneo?
You might be able to join this study if you are between 18 and 75 years old and are actively looking for help to stop or reduce your drinking. It's important that you are able to attend all the study visits and follow the instructions carefully throughout the study, which includes things like keeping diaries and giving yourself injections.
However, some things would mean you can't take part. For example, if you've had problems with certain other types of substance use (other than alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine) in the last six months, or if you've had recent thoughts or actions related to harming yourself. Also, if you have severe liver disease, you wouldn't be able to join this study. The study team will check for these and other conditions to make sure the study is safe for you.
