Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nalmefene for use in the reduction of alcohol consumption in a patient with alcohol dependence who has a high drinking risk level.
  • the present invention also relates to nalmefene for use in the reduction of alcohol consumption in a patient with alcohol dependence who maintains at least medium DRL after an observation period following initial assessment.
  • Nalmefene 17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4,5-alpha-epoxy-6-methylenemorphinan-3,14-dial] has the following general formula:
  • Nalmefene is a known opioid system modulator, with a distinct ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ receptor profile, which can inhibit pharmacological effects of both administered opioid agonists and endogenous agonists derived from the opioid system.
  • the clinical usefulness of nalmefene comes from its ability to promptly and selectively reverse the effects of these opioid agonists.
  • Nalmefene has primarily been developed for use in the management of alcohol dependence.
  • a double-blind, placebo-controlled study has shown good effect of 20 to 80 mg daily oral dosing of nalmefene (Mason et al., Arch Gen. Psychiatry , (1999), Vol. 56: 719-724); while another study reported no evidence of superiority of nalmefene over placebo in a study evaluating 5, 20 and 40 mg daily doses of nalmefene (Anton et al., J. Clin. Psychopharmacol ., (2004), Vol. 24(4): 421-428).
  • Risk levels according to Table 1 can be assessed e.g. by calculating mean daily alcohol consumption in g/day over a month such as over 4 weeks. There is a need for a new treatment for use in reduction of alcohol consumption. Reduction of alcohol consumption is likely to provide benefits associated with decreased risk of health-related harm and decreased number of adverse social consequences.
