A Two-part, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Phase 2 Study to Evaluate Impact of Sunobinop (V117957) on Alcohol Consumption (Part A) and Alcohol Craving (Part B) in Subjects Diagnosed with Moderate to Severe Alcohol Use Disorder and Seeking Treatment
This research study is testing a new medicine, called Sunobinop, for people who have a medical condition called alcohol use disorder (AUD). AUD means someone has trouble controlling their drinking. The study aims to find out if Sunobinop can help people drink less often and reduce the amount of alcohol they drink on days they do drink heavily. Researchers will compare Sunobinop to a 'dummy' pill (placebo) to see if it really makes a difference. The study is divided into two parts; one part focuses on reducing overall alcohol use, and the other looks at reducing cravings for alcohol. Your doctor might suggest this study if you are looking for new treatment options.

Vad handlar denna studie om?
This study is a research project looking into a new treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD). AUD is when someone has problems controlling their drinking, which can affect their health, work, and relationships. It's a common condition, and researchers are always looking for better ways to help people.
The new medicine being tested is called Sunobinop. The study wants to find out if taking Sunobinop can help people drink less alcohol, particularly on days when they might normally drink a lot. It also aims to see if the medicine can help reduce the strong urges, or cravings, to drink alcohol. This is a 'Phase 2' study, which means it's an early stage of testing where researchers are trying to understand if the medicine works and find the right dose.
To make sure the results are reliable, some people will receive Sunobinop, and others will receive a 'placebo.' A placebo looks exactly like the real medicine but doesn't contain any active drug. This helps the researchers know if any changes are due to the medicine itself or other factors. Both you and your study doctor won't know whether you're taking Sunobinop or the placebo, which helps keep the study fair and unbiased.

Vad innebär deltagande?
If you decide to take part, you'll be given either Sunobinop or a placebo tablet to take regularly. You won't know which one you're taking, and neither will your study doctor. Throughout the study, you'll have regular appointments at the clinic. During these visits, the study team will ask you questions about your drinking habits, your general health, and how you're feeling. They will use a special interview method called the 'Timeline Followback' to understand how much and how often you've been drinking. These checks help the researchers see if the medicine is making a difference. The total duration of your involvement in the study will be explained in detail by the study team.
