Study Summary

Current pharmacotherapies for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have limited efficacy. Thus, the development of effective treatments for AUDs represents an important public health objective. Repositioning, i.e. using existing approved drugs for other indications, represents a fast and economically feasible approach for drug development. Ivermectin (IVM) is an FDA-approved antiparasitic medication that can significantly reduce alcohol intake in mice, suggesting that it may be useful in the treatment of AUDs in humans. The goal of this project is to provide key clinical evidence that IVM can be repositioned as a novel therapeutic agent to treat AUDs.

Primary Outcome

Heart rate (measured in beats per minute; BPM) will be monitored to determine the safety of combining IVM (30 mg) with moderate doses of alcohol (0.08 g/dl). During the infusion, the times for collecting HR will vary based on how long it takes participants to reach the targeted BrACs.
