Trial Outcomes & Findings for Topiramate's Effects on Heavy Drinking (NCT NCT02074904)

NCT ID: NCT02074904

Last Updated: 2018-09-21

Results Overview

At baseline (prior to randomization), brain and behavioral responses will be significantly greater during alcohol cue exposure compared to non-alcohol cue exposure. Following 6 weeks of study drug, individuals receiving topiramate will demonstrate greater reductions in brain activity and drinking behavior compared to individuals receiving placebo. Individuals receiving placebo will exhibit responses similar to baseline responses.
