Defining the Clinical Role of Topiramate in the Treatment of Alcohol Dependence in Australia

To compare the clinical effectiveness, tolerability, and cost-effectiveness of topiramate to active control (naltrexone) on treatment outcomes for alcohol dependence in a double-blind randomised controlled trial.

NCT03479086 Alcohol Dependence
MeSH: Alcoholism

2 Interventions

Name: Topiramate

Description: 200mg/day 100mg b.i.d

Type: Drug

Topiramate

Name: Naltrexone

Description: 50mg/day

Type: Drug

Naltrexone


Primary Outcomes

Description: Corroborated with Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) levels

Measure: Number of heavy drinking days, as measured by the Time Line Follow Back

Time: Over 12 weeks

Description: Corroborated with PEth levels

Measure: Time to relapse, as measured by the Time Line Follow Back

Time: Over 12 weeks

Description: Corroborated with PEth levels

Measure: Time to lapse, as measured by the Time Line Follow Back

Time: Over 12 weeks

Description: Corroborated with PEth levels

Measure: Number of days abstinent, as measured by the Time Line Follow Back

Time: Over 12 weeks

Description: Corroborated with PEth levels

Measure: Number of standard drinks per drinking day, as measured by the Time Line Follow Back

Time: 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: as reported by patient during weekly medical management sessions facilitated by the treating doctor.

Measure: Self report of adverse events

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by amount of time spent thinking and craving for alcohol, difficulty in resisting consumption of alcohol if present and hypothetical pleasure associated with consumption of alcohol.

Measure: Penn Alcohol Craving Scale for alcohol craving

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by cumulative score of anxiety related questions on the Depression, Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS21).

Measure: DASS21 score for presence and/or severity of anxiety

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by cumulative score for depression related questions

Measure: DASS21 score for presence and/or severity of depression

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by cumulative score of satisfaction with current sleep patterns and extent to which sleep disturbances interfere and impair with every day activities and daily functioning

Measure: Insomnia Severity Index for sleep disturbances

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by fasting blood glucose levels in blood

Measure: Blood glucose test for diabetes

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by levels of liver enzymes, Alanine Transaminase (ALT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Aspartate Transaminase (AST) in blood

Measure: Liver function tests for clinical markers of liver injury

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured by weight in kilograms (kg) and height in metres (m). These two measurements will be combined together to report BMI in kg/m^2.

Measure: Body Mass Index

Time: 12 weeks

Measure: Number of cigarettes smoked daily, as measured by Time Line Follow Back

Time: 12 weeks

Description: as measured using a scale of the likelihood of having a good time and feeling more relaxed if alcohol was consumed.

Measure: Self report of daily measures of expectancies, confidence and drinking

Time: 12 weeks

Other Outcomes

Measure: The moderating effect of the OPRM1 polymorphism in response to naltrexone, as measured by number of heavy drinking days

Time: 12 weeks

Measure: Cost-effectiveness of topiramate versus naltrexone, as measured by Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)

Time: 12 weeks

Purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Parallel Assignment


There is one SNP

SNPs


1 rs2832407

Investigators hypothesise that topiramate treated patients will be better able to achieve a reduction in heavy drinking and predict that, based on prior research, that the effects would be moderated by a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs2832407) in GRIK1.
