Alcoholism Clinical Trial
Official title:
Rapid Determination Of The Clinical Utility Of Perampanel For The Treatment Of Alcohol Dependence
The purpose of this study is to determine whether perampanel alters the response to alcohol for heavy drinkers. It is hypothesized that perampanel will reduce the rewarding and reinforcing properties of alcohol in the laboratory setting.
The main goal of the proposed study is to determine whether the alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid receptor (AMPA-R) antagonist perampanel alters the response to ethanol (i.e., the rewarding and reinforcing effects) using a validated laboratory paradigm of intravenous (IV) ethanol infusion. Fifty non-treatment seeking heavy drinkers (NTSHDs), N=50, and twenty-five social drinkers (N=25) will undergo three test days each: once after receiving a placebo medication, once after receiving moderate dose perampanel, and once after receiving a higher dose of perampanel. This experiment is the first step in a series of expedient studies that will rapidly determine perampanel's potential as a treatment for alcohol dependence. If findings show perampanel reduces the rewarding and reinforcing properties of alcohol in the laboratory setting (in humans), it would provide a strong rationale for clinical treatment trials with this medication. This approach is innovative because it tests a highly novel AMPA-R antagonist for the treatment of alcoholism, and uses a state-of-the-art computer assisted IV alcohol pump infusion system (called CAIS) to reduce variability in blood alcohol concentrations, thus improving the data quality. ;
