About this study
Official title: Double-blind, Randomised, Parallel-group, Three-arm, Dose Range, Placebo-controlled, Proof-of-concept Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of a Combination of Cypropheptadine and Prazosin on Alcohol Consumption in Patients With Severe Alcohol Use Disorder
Double-blind randomised, parallel-group, three-arm, multicentre, placebo-controlled study The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of the combination of Periactine® (cyproheptadine 8 mg/day or 12 mg/day) and Alpress® (prazosin 5 mg/day or 10 mg/day) over placebo on the reduction of the total alcohol consumption (TAC), in alcohol-dependent patients.
180 patients will be randomised into the two treatment groups (N=60 in the low-dose group and N=60 in the high-dose group) and the placebo group (N=60).
- Conditions
- Alcohol Use Disorder
- Being tested
- Cyproheptadine, Alpress LP

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Cyproheptadine and Alpress LP in people with Alcohol Use Disorder, run by Kinnov Therapeutics at 35 sites in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 35 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in the mean quantity of alcohol consumed per day in the three groups (time frame: weeks 9 to 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04108104, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2024.
