Official title
The Effects of VIVITROL® on Alcohol-Related Cue-Induced Craving and BOLD [Blood Oxygen-level-dependent] Functional Magnetic Resolution Imaging (fMRI) Signal Activation Patterns
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This was a study of the effects of VIVITROL® on alcohol cue-induced craving and the associated brain activation patterns in alcohol-dependent adults who had recently completed alcohol detoxification and were seeking further treatment for their alcohol dependence. The study was powered to to detect whether VIVITROL attenuates or blocks the BOLD signal increases in response to alcohol-related cues. In the double-blind portion, subjects received a single administration of study drug (VIVITROL 380 mg or placebo). Subjects who completed the double-blind portion could opt to continue to the open-label portion and receive 2 additional months of treatment with VIVITROL 380 mg.
