Официальное название

Semaglutide Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Обзор

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the feasibility of treating Alcohol Use Disorder with Semaglutide after metabolic and bariatric surgery in adults with overweight or obesity.

Подробное описание

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of treating Alcohol Use Disorder with Semaglutide after metabolic and bariatric surgery in adults with overweight/obesity. This study will also examine changes in alcohol use disorder and weight. It is hypothesized that the treatment will be feasible and acceptable to participants, and result in reductions in alcohol use and weight.

A recently published randomized controlled trial provided preliminary evidence that Semaglutide can reduce some alcohol craving and drinking outcomes; however, this has not been examined in individuals with a history of bariatric surgery who are at increased risk of alcohol misuse and Alcohol Use Disorder.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Semaglutide 1.0 mg
  Participants randomized to Semaglutide will be initiated on a 0.25 mg dose (injection) once weekly for 4 weeks (first month) with an escalation to 0.5 mg for the second month, and 1.0 mg in the final month (three months total).

• Mean drinks per drinking day to assess Alcohol use [Срок оценки: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, 6-month follow-up]
• Mean number of heavy drinking days to assess Alcohol use [Срок оценки: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, 6-month follow-up]
• Mean number of drinking vs abstinent days to assess Alcohol use [Срок оценки: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, 6-month follow-up]
