Recruiting and recently completed trials from ClinicalTrials.gov. Data retrieved 2026-07-03.
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) affects about 29.5 million people in the United States. Only 3 medicines have been approved by Food and Drug Administration to treat AUD. Researchers want to find better treatments for AUD. Animal studies found that a medicine called spironolactone, may decrea...
A phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (RCT) to evaluate the ability of zonisamide (ZON) to decrease alcohol use among treatment-seeking adults with an alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Using a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of evidence based behavioral treatment (contingency management: CM) to significantly decrease alcohol use and cigarette smoking among treatment-seeking smokers with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) who have ini...
Alcohol contributes to 88,000 deaths and costs an estimated $223 billion annually in the United States. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is highly prevalent in veterans. The positive public health impact of reducing heavy drinking among veterans with AUD would prevent significant medical morbidity and mor...
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a problematic pattern of alcohol use accompanied by clinically significant medical consequences. Medications can help most people reduce their drinking, but the number is limited, and additional treatment options are needed. Objective: To test if a medica...
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic disease that causes more than 140,000 US deaths each year. AUD treatment often includes therapy and medication. Some people with AUD may also benefit from behavioral and lifestyle changes. Objective: To evaluate the effects of different activiti...
Patients with hepatic steatosis due to alcohol will be offered liver biopsies when they enter a detoxification program. The first biopsy will occur in the first week of admission and the second in the fourth week when the steatosis has resolved. The hepatic transcriptome will be compared,
"Gold-standard" medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) treatment combines FDA-approved medications, primarily methadone and buprenorphine, with behavioral therapies to provide "whole-patient" treatment. Prior to the pandemic, methadone and buprenorphine were subject to greater federal regulation...
Background: About 1.5 million adults in the US enter alcohol or substance use treatment programs each year. Unfortunately, more than half of patients do not finish their program. For those who start treatment, about 70% return to substance use within weeks or months after starting treatment. To dis...
This two-armed, parallel-group, double-blind, multi-center randomized control trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the efficacy of probiotic supplement compared with placebo in ameliorating alcohol craving and severity of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in patients diagnosed with AUD after 2 weeks of in-patient ...
Up to 40% of individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) experience depression, which increases the risk of early relapse. Depression can cause relapse to occur 3 times faster in individuals with AUD who experience depressive symptoms at discharge. No treatments have been approved for individuals wi...
This study, which is part of the Zambia Alabama HIV Alcohol Comorbidities Program funded by NIH-NIAAA, is designed to examine the efficacy of brief and in-depth cognitive behavioral therapy-based interventions to address, unhealthy alcohol use, comorbid mental health symptoms, and HIV treatment outc...
This epidemiological study (randomized clinical trial) aims to evaluate a digital Screening and Brief Intervention (e-SBI) system for reducing and preventing harmful alcohol consumption in patients treated by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), compared to an in-person SBI protocol.
Participants with alcohol use disorder will be randomly assigned to either the Ria Treatment Platform or a waitlist control. The Ria Treatment Platform is a telehealth approach that incorporates medical assessment, medications for alcohol use disorder, individual and group coaching, educational vide...
Background: \- Scientists know that alcohol use disorders affect brain structure. They want to know more about the effects of alcohol use disorders on a person s behavior. They want to develop tasks that can be done inside a scanner that can help them better understand these effects in later studie...
Searched directly from “Alcohol Use Disorder” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 0-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).
