简要总结

This 26-week long, double-blinded randomized clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide s.c. vs placebo on alcohol consumption in 108 patients diagnosed with alcohol use disorder and comorbid obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2).

Patients will be treated for 26 weeks with semaglutide subcutaneously (s.c.) once weekly or placebo. The medication will be provided as a supplement to standardised cognitive behavioural therapy. A subgroup of the patients will have two brain scans (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)) conducted in one scan session at week 0 and 26.

The primary endpoint is the percentage-point reduction in total number of heavy drinking days, defined as days with an excess intake of 48/60 grams of alcohol per day (women and men, respectively) from baseline to follow-up after 26 weeks of treatment, measured by the timeline followback (TLFB) method.

  • Diagnosed with alcohol dependence according to the criteria of the International Classification of Diseases 10 (ICD-10), and diagnosed with alcohol use disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5)
  • Alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) score >15
  • Body mass index (BMI) above or equal to 30 kg/m2
  • Age 18 - 70 years (both included)
  • Heavy alcohol drinking defined as more than 6 days with alcohol consumption over 4 units (48 g alcohol) for women and 5 units (60 g alcohol) for men during a consecutive 30-day period, within 40 days prior to baseline evaluation, measured by the TLFB method. The 30-day period will be the 30 consecutive days with the biggest alcohol intake (most heavy drinking days and the largest amount of total alcohol) out of the 40 days.

  • Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes in poor glycaemic control (defined as HbA1c ≥48 mmol/l or fasting plasma glucose above 7.0 mmol/l at inclusion)
  • Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or have the intention of becoming pregnant within the next 9 months (26 weeks plus two months after discontinuation of semaglutide), or are not using contraceptives (during the whole study period) considered as highly effective (combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable) intrauterine device, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner, sexual abstinence).
  • Pregnancy (serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) > 3 U/L at inclusion)
  • Impaired hepatic function (liver transaminases >3 times the upper limit)
  • Impaired renal function (eGFR < 50 ml/min and/or plasma creatinine >150 μmol/l)
  • Impaired pancreatic function (any history of acute or chronic pancreatitis and/or amylase > 2 times upper limit)
  • Former medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and/or family history with MTC and/or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Cardiac problems defined as decompensated heart failure (NYHA class III or IV), unstable angina pectoris and/or myocardial infarction within the last 12 months
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg)
  • Concomitant pharmacotherapy against alcohol use disorder, i.e., disulfiram, naltrexone, acamprosate, or nalmefene, since the first of the 30 drinking days registered for inclusion at the TLFB-schedule.
  • Receiving any investigational drug within the last three months
  • Use of weight-lowering pharmacotherapy within the preceding 3 months
  • Any other active substance use defined as a DUDIT-score >1 (except nicotine)
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of the excipients

结局指标

主要结局

Change in heavy drinking days

时间窗: From baseline to 26 weeks of treatment

Change in alcohol consumption, defined as the change in percentage of heavy drinking days during a period of 30 consecutive days, after 26 weeks of treatment adjusted for baseline (percentage points (pp)). A heavy drinking day is defined as more than 60/48 grams (men/women) of alcohol in one day, measured with the validated timeline follow-back (TLFB) method.
