Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Thirty-four individuals seeking treatment for AUD participated in a six-week placebo-controlled study of prazosin and underwent an anticipatory anxiety task during fMRI scans at baseline and three weeks."9.34Brain activation and subjective anxiety during an anticipatory anxiety task is related to clinical outcome during prazosin treatment for alcohol use disorder. ( Adinoff, B; Bogenschutz, M; Boggs, KM; Clifford, J; Eck, M; Ling, J; Mayer, AR; Wilcox, CE; Witkiewitz, K, 2020)
"Prazosin (PRZ; an α1 -adrenergic receptor antagonist) and naltrexone (NTX; a nonspecific opioid receptor antagonist) each decrease alcohol drinking when administered to rats selectively bred for high voluntary alcohol drinking (alcohol-preferring or "P"), and the combination of PRZ + NTX decreases alcohol drinking more effectively than does either drug alone."7.81Prazosin + Naltrexone Decreases Alcohol Drinking More Effectively Than Does Either Drug Alone in P Rats with a Protracted History of Extensive Voluntary Alcohol Drinking, Dependence, and Multiple Withdrawals. ( Froehlich, JC; Kincaid, CL; Rasmussen, DD, 2015)
"Alcohol drinking following propranolol treatment was variable, but the combination of propranolol + prazosin consistently suppressed alcohol drinking during both alcohol withdrawal and following prolonged imposed abstinence, and the combination of these 2 drugs was more effective than was treatment with either drug alone."7.80Combining the α1 -adrenergic receptor antagonist, prazosin, with the β-adrenergic receptor antagonist, propranolol, reduces alcohol drinking more effectively than either drug alone. ( Beckwith, LE; Froehlich, JC; Kincaid, CL; Rasmussen, DD, 2014)
" Given that NTX and prazosin can each reduce alcohol drinking in rats selectively bred for alcohol preference and high voluntary alcohol drinking (alcohol-preferring "P" rats), we tested whether a combination of NTX + prazosin is more effective in decreasing alcohol drinking than is either drug alone."7.79Combining naltrexone and prazosin in a single oral medication decreases alcohol drinking more effectively than does either drug alone. ( Froehlich, JC; Hausauer, BJ; Rasmussen, DD, 2013)
"The findings indicate that alcohol withdrawal symptoms are a significant moderator of prazosin treatment response for alcohol use outcomes and for associated symptoms of alcohol craving, anxiety, and mood symptoms."5.41Moderation of Prazosin's Efficacy by Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms. ( Angarita, GA; Fogelman, N; Fox, HC; Hermes, G; Milivojevic, V; Morgan, PM; Sinha, R; Wemm, S, 2021)

Trial Outcomes

Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) Analysis of Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S)

"The CGI-S rating scale is a 7-point global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to Normal, not at all ill and a rating of 7 is equivalent to Among the most extremely ill participants. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvement in the severity of illness.~Estimates (least square means and standard errors), 2-sided confidence intervals, and -1-sided P values are based on a repeated-measures linear regression model of the change from baseline score, with fixed effects for visit as a categorical variable, baseline score, treatment and treatment by visit interaction, assuming an unstructured covariance matrix." (NCT02109562)

Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) Analysis of Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score

"The PANSS is a 30-item scale designed to assess various symptoms of schizophrenia including delusions, grandiosity, blunted affect, poor judgement, poor attention, and poor impulse control. The 30 symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The PANSS total score is the sum of all 30 PANSS items and ranges from 30 to 210, with 30 indicating absence of symptoms of schizophrenia and 210 indicating extreme ratings of all 30 symptoms. Negative change from baseline scores indicate improvements in symptoms.~Estimates (least square means and standard errors), 2-sided confidence intervals, and -1-sided P values are based on a repeated-measures linear regression model of the change from baseline score, with fixed effects for visit as a categorical variable, baseline score, treatment and treatment by visit interaction, assuming an unstructured covariance matrix."

Summary of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

"An adverse event (AE) is defined as any study-related event that represents a change (positive or negative) in frequency or severity from a baseline (prestudy) event (if any), regardless of the presence of causal relationship or medical significance. Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any adverse event with a start date on or after the first study dose date. AEs are determined by the Investigator to be related or not related to the study drug.~A serious AE (SAE) is defined by federal regulation as any AE occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening AE, hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Although a subject may have had 2 or more adverse experiences the subject is counted only once in a category. The same subject may appear in different categories." (NCT02109562)
