A Study for the Treatment of Alcohol Dependence

The Timeline Followback Method assesses the subject's daily drinking by means of a calendar that covers a specific time period and was used to assess the number of heavy drinking days. Heavy drinking is defined as ≥4 drinks/day for women and ≥5 drinks/day for men. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, gender, family history, treatment*visit, gender*family history, baseline, and baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

Subject was treated as a random effect. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

DrInC is a self-administered, 50-item questionnaire designed to measure adverse consequences of alcohol abuse in 5 areas: Interpersonal, Physical, Social, Impulsive, and Intrapersonal. DrInC-2R provides a measurement since the last interview. Total scores range from 0-150, and higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. Subject was treated as a random effect. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

GGT and carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (%CDT) will be used as biochemical markers of alcohol consumption. A combination of GGT and %CDT improves the sensitivity of detecting excessive alcohol consumption as compared to either marker alone, or other traditional markers. Elevated levels indicate heavy alcoholism. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) and %CDT will be used as biochemical markers of alcohol consumption. A combination of GGT and %CDT improves the sensitivity of detecting excessive alcohol consumption as compared to either marker alone, or other traditional markers. Elevated levels indicate heavy alcoholism. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

AST is a potential biomarker for LY2196044 efficacy as decreases reflect decreased alcohol consumption. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

The BDI-II contains 21 items that characterize how the subject was feeling in the past 2 weeks. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 to 3 (0=no depression; 3=very depressed). Total scores range from 0-63. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

BAI is a 21-item patient-completed questionnaire designed to assess the characteristics of anxiety. Participant was asked to rate how much he or she has been bothered by each symptom over the past week. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0=not present; 3=present in the extreme). Total scores range from 0 to 63. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety symptoms. LS Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, visit, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

The BIS-11 is a 30-item, self-administered impulsivity scale. Motor, cognitive, and non-planning domains are assessed and a total score is computed. This scale has previously been used in substance-abusing populations. Total scores range from 30-120. Higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history.

Thoughts About Abstinence Scale was to measure participant's commitment to abstinence. It includes 3 items on a scale of 1-10: own desire to stop drinking (1=no desire to quit); own expectation of success in quitting (1=lowest expectation of success); how difficult to quit and remain abstinent (1=lowest amount of difficulty); and their goal related to alcohol use (scale of 1-7: 1=having no goal, up to total abstinence at 6 [7 was none of 6 above]). Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, baseline, gender*family history.

Q-LES-Q-SF is a self-report instrument that assesses the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction in daily life activities. The domains include: social relationships, living or house situation, and physical health. Total scores range from 14-70. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, visit, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

EWPS is a self-rated work productivity scale that assesses such topics as work hours, work missed, and behaviors and feelings related to the workplace. The EWPS will be completed only by subjects who work outside the home. There are 25 items and total scores range from 0-100. Higher scores indicate poorer productivity. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, visit, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

Plasma concentrations were analyzed using population PK methodology with non-linear mixed effect modeling (NONMEM) software.

Percentage of participants discontinued study due to one or more AEs.

Percentage of participants had one or more TEAEs during treatment period. TEAE is a worsening or new occurrence of adverse event during treatment compared to baseline.

Orthostatic BP is the BP measured within 3 minutes of standing. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, baseline, treatment*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

Orthostatic pulse rate is the pulse rate measured within 3 minutes of standing. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, visit, baseline, treatment*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

The revised CIWA-Ar scale measured the severity of alcohol withdrawal by rating 10 signs and symptoms: nausea; tremor; autonomic hyperactivity; anxiety; agitation; tactile, visual, and auditory disturbances; headache; and disorientation. Total scores range from 0-67. Higher scores indicate greater severity of withdrawal.

The GSRS is a clinician-administered scale used to assess upper and lower gastrointestinal physical symptoms. 15 items covering domains of abdominal pain, reflux syndrome, indigestion syndrome, diarrhea syndrome, and constipation syndrome were assessed with a 1-week recall period. Total scores range from 0-45. Higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, visit, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit.
