Efficacy & Safety of Baclofen to Reduce Alcohol Use in Veterans With HCV
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating baclofen and placebo for Hepatitis C and Alcohol Use Disorders. Completed, enrolled 180 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Hepatitis C (HCV) is the most common blood born virus in the United States, affecting 1.8% of the general population and more than 5% of Veterans using VA facilities. As Veterans with HCV have high rates of co-morbid alcohol use disorders that accelerate greatly the liver damage caused by HCV, a safe and effective treatment for alcohol use disorders is needed. Baclofen is a novel treatment for alcohol use disorders that has minimal effect on the liver and may represent a safe and efficacious treatment option for Veterans with HCV and co-morbid alcohol use disorders.
