What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent Change From Baseline in Heavy Drinking Days

    The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used in calculating the percent reduction in heavy drinking days. The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome. Recorded is the number of standard drinks that have been consumed each day during last 4 weeks. One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer [5% alcohol by volume (abv)], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv). Heavy drinking is defined as ≥4 drinks per day for women and ≥5 drinks per day for men.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4 and 8 and 12 and 16

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Percent Days Abstinent Per Month

    The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used in calculating the percentage of days abstinent (days where no alcoholic drinks were consumed). The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome. Recorded is the number of standard drinks that have been consumed each day. One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer [5% alcohol by volume (abv)], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv). Percentage days per month= (number of days where no alcoholic beverages were consumed/number of days in a month)*100.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4 and 8 and 12 and 16.

  2. Number of Drinks Per Drinking Day During a Month

    The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used in calculating the number of drinks per drinking day. The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome. Recorded is the number of standard drinks that have been consumed each day. One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer [5% alcohol by volume (abv)], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv).

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 4 and 8 and12 and 16

  3. Time to First Heavy Drinking Day

    The Alcohol Timeline Followback (TLFB) is used to assess the time to first heavy drinking day. The TLFB is a method for assessing the quantity of alcohol consumption on a daily basis. With a calendar as a guide, the interviewee provides a retrospective estimate of daily habits over a specified period of as long as the previous year. The goal is to provide a detailed record of patterns of use that can be used to guide treatment and to assess treatment outcome. Recorded is the number of standard drinks that have been consumed each day. One standard drink on the TLFB was defined as: 12 ounce (oz) beer [5% alcohol by volume (abv)], 5 oz of wine (10-12% abv), 3 oz of fortified wine (16-18% abv), or 1-1.2 oz of hard liquor (86-100 proof; 43-50% abv). Heavy drinking is defined as ≥4 drinks per day for women and ≥5 drinks per day for men. Those who did not drink are considered to be "censored."

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC) Subscale and Total Scale

    DrInC is a self-administered, 50-item questionnaire designed to measure adverse consequences of alcohol abuse in 5 areas: Interpersonal, Physical, Social, Impulsive, and Intrapersonal. All items for the DrInC are scored from 0-3 with higher scores indicating worse adverse consequences. Interpersonal subscale (10 items: scores range from 0-30) measures the impact of drinking on the participants' relationships. Physical subscale (8 items: scores range from 0-24) measures adverse physical states resulting from excessive drinking. Social subscale (7 items: scores range from 0-21) measures role fulfillment. Impulsive subscale (12 items: scores range from 0-36) measures sequelae of over drinking. Intrapersonal subscale (8 items: scores range from 0-24) measures subjective perceptions that may not be readily observable by others. Total scores range from 0-150, with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

  5. Change From Baseline in Alcohol Urge Questionnaire (AUQ)

    AUQ measures participant's feeling and thoughts about drinking, and uses a 7 point (1-7) Likert scale for each of 8 items (questions). Scores range from 8 (less urge to drink) to 56 (more urge to drink).

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

  6. Change From Baseline in Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS)

    PACS is a 5-item self-administered instrument that measures frequency, intensity, and duration of thoughts about drinking, ability to resist drinking and craving. Each item ranges from 0-6 with 6 indicating worse symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

  7. Change From Baseline in Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) Total Score

    BDI-II is a 21-item, participant-completed questionnaire to assess characteristics of depression. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 (no depression) to 3 (very depressed). Total scores range from 0-63. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

  8. Change From Baseline Beck Anxiety Index (BAI) Total Score

    BAI is a 21-item participant-completed questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of anxiety. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0= not present; 3= present in the extreme). Total scores range from 0 to 63. Higher total scores indicate greater severity of anxiety symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 6 and 12

  9. Change From Baseline in Plasma Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT)

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

  10. Change From Baseline in Plasma Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT)

    Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin is a laboratory test that measures alcohol consumption. Greater levels suggest recent alcohol consumption.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 10 and 12

  11. 12 -Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) Scores: Physical Component Summary (PCS)

    Short Form 12 (SF-12) is a 12-item assessment used to measure participant's physical wellbeing [physical component score (PCS)] and mental wellbeing [mental component score (MCS)]. The PCS score ranges from 0 (lowest wellbeing) to 100 (highest wellbeing) and is designed to have a mean of 50 and standard deviation (SD) of 10 in the general population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LY686017 in people with Alcohol Dependence, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 21 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Feb 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent Change From Baseline in Heavy Drinking Days (time frame: Baseline, Weeks 4 and 8 and 12 and 16). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Sep 2019.
