Summary

Acamprosate for alcohol use disorder may benefit liver transplant (LT) recipients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), yet data on feasibility and safety in LT recipients are lacking. This was a single-center unblinded randomized controlled trial of adults (≥18 years) with LT for ALD enrolled between 2021-2023 who were randomized 2:1 to the intervention of acamprosate (666mg dose three time daily) or standard of care (SOC) for 14 weeks. The primary outcome was safety \[prevalence of adverse events (AE)\]. Secondary outcomes included feasibility (weekly survey response rate \>60%), adherence (self reported acamprosate use\>60%), and efficacy (reduction in Penn Alcohol Craving Scale \[PACS\]) and relapse). Relapse was defined as blood phosphatidylethanol≥20ng/mL or reported alcohol use. All analyses were done in the intention to treat (ITT) population and per-protocol population (PPP) (excluding withdrawals/acamprosate non-adherent).
