Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2026
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial. The study plans to enroll 240 adult patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). After providing written informed consent and undergoing screening for eligibility criteria, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive treatment in either the experimental group (1.5 g Naltrexone Hydrochloride Implant plus non-specific supportive psychotherapy) or the control group (placebo implant plus non-specific supportive psychotherapy). On Day 1, subjects will receive a single subcutaneous implantation via a small abdominal incision, receiving either the Naltrexone Hydrochloride Implant or the placebo implant. Following implantation, subjects will be hospitalized for at least 2 hours (the investigator may extend this observation period up to 3 days based on the patient\'s condition). Subjects will change the wound dressing by themselves on postoperative Day 3. Efficacy and safety assessments will continue through Week 24 post-randomization/dosing, involving a total of 11 visits. Among these, Visit 5 (Week 3) will be conducted via telephone, while all other visits will be performed as outpatient clinic visits.
