Randomized, controlled trial of Rybelsus (semaglutide) among adults with AUD
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the study medication, Rybelsus (semaglutide), decreases craving for alcohol and helps people with Alcohol Use Disorder to reduce drinking.
You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. You will have a 50% (1 in 2) chance of receiving semaglutide and a 50% chance of receiving placebo. This is a double-blind study, which means neither you nor the study investigator will make the choice to which group you are assigned, and neither will know what group you are in. There are 8 study visits over about 11 weeks, including weekly study visits for 7 weeks, plus a follow-up phone call about two weeks after the last study visit. Compensation is provided for participation.
