Trial Outcomes

Total Amount of Alcohol Consumed During the Alcohol Self Administration (ASA) Session

Amount of alcohol was measured as the number of mini-drinks each participant decided to drink (0-8 mini-drinks). The alcohol content of each mini-drink was calculated based on the participants' total body water, and was designed to raise the blood alcohol concentration by 0.015 g/dL. (NCT01751386)
Timeframe: 2 hours

Alcohol Drinking

"Whether baclofen, as compared to active placebo, results in lower quantity of alcohol consumed during the Alcohol Self-Administration (ASA).~Consistent with O'Malley et al. 2002, the ASA paradigm allows to use a fixed-dose (the priming drink), followed by a 2-hour free-choice phase when subjects may choose to drink or not up to 8 mini-drinks. Participants receive a monetary compensation of $3 dollars per each mini-drink not consumed; therefore the amount of minidrinks consumed during the 2-hour sessions ranges 0-8, and the monetary compensation ranges $0-24. The quantity of alcohol consumed during the free-choice session is expressed as standard drinking unit, where a standard drink unit contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons)." (NCT01076283)

Alcohol Urge

"Whether baclofen, as compared to active placebo, results in diminished cue-reactivity responses to alcohol cues in terms of urge to drink [as measured by the Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ)] during the Cue Reactivity.~The Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ) consists of eight statements about the respondent's feelings and thoughts about drinking as they are completing the questionnaire (i.e., right now). The respondent is asked to respond to each statement about alcohol craving via a 7-item Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Each item is scored on a 1 to 7 scale (Strongly Disagree = 1 and Strongly Agree = 7). Items 2 and 7 are reverse scored. A total score is computed by summing the item scores and ranges from 8 (lowest craving value) to 56 (highest craving value). Higher scores reflect greater craving (i.e. worse outcome)." (NCT01076283)

Alcohol Visual Analogue Scale (A-VAS)

"Whether ghrelin intravenous (i.v.), as compared to saline i.v., dose-dependently results in increased cue-reactivity (CR) responses to alcohol cues in terms of urge to drink [as measured by the Alcohol Visual Analogue Scale (A-VAS)].~The A-VAS was rated on 11-point anchored Likert-type scales, where 0 is the minimum score (no craving) and 11 is the maximum score (highest craving intensity). The change in the A-VAS score (deltaA-VAS) was used to indicate decrease (-d) or increase (+d) in craving intensity." (NCT01190085)

Benzodiazepine Doses Used to Treat Acutely-withdrawing Alcoholic Patients in the Baclofen-treated and Placebo-treated Groups

In acutely-withdrawing alcoholic patients treated with either baclofen or placebo, symptom-driven benzodiazepine doses were assessed for the 72 hours following the first Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment (CIWA) score of 11 or greater. (NCT00597701)
Timeframe: From eligibility for randomization (Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment [CIWA] score of at least 11) until 72 hours of observation had been completed.
