This study tests whether a new medication called NTX-2001 can help people with alcohol use disorder drink less. Researchers will measure how the drug affects alcohol consumption and safety in adults aged 21–60.
This study tests whether a medication called disulfiram (Antabuse) can help people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) feel less anxious when they stop drinking. Researchers will also use brain scans (MRI) to look at how the brain changes during early abstinence.
This early study tests the safety and dosing of CMND-100 in first-time participants, including people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and some healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand whether the drug is safe, and how it might affect alcohol use in AUD.
