Rehab News: New trial for drug that could curb addiction
A new trial of a drug that could curb alcohol dependence will soon be underway.
An Australian researcher will next month trial a drug in humans that has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption in laboratory rats by 50 per cent.
It is believed that the drug could also help curb other addictions including smoking and gambling. The drug, which has been marketed as Chantix by Pfizer, attaches itself to receptors in the brain to block cravings.
Trials will be led by Dr Selena Bartlett, who has spoken of her concerns that big companies do not take drugs to treat addictions seriously enough. She said that as a condition, "addiction is currently one of the most under-served and least understood".
Dr Bartlett is the director of the Preclinical Development Group at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Centre at the University of California in San Francisco, one of the world's top alcohol and addiction research centres.
A recent study in the US found that the drug LY686017 may successfully reduce alcohol cravings in addicts, helping alcoholics' recovery.
