DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Extinction-based treatment for alcohol dependence has a strong theoretical and empirical basis, but only modest positive outcomes in clinical trials. Recent basic and human research has revealed that D-cycloserine (DCS) enhances extinction to fear cues and several lines of evidence suggest that DCS may also enhance extinction to alcohol cues. Thus, DCS may be a useful pharmacological adjunct to extinction-based treatment for AUDS. The proposed study is a proof-of-concept test of whether DCS enhances extinction to alcohol cues. Sixty-six alcohol dependent adults will be enrolled in a double-blind placebo-controlled two-group (DCS [50 mg]/placebo) between-subjects human laboratory study. Subjects will undergo an initial test of reactions to alcohol cues, two extinction sessions with acute administration of DCS or placebo, and follow-up alcohol cue reactivity tests one-week and one-month later. We hypothesize that DCS will enhance extinction to alcohol cues, as evidenced by attenuated cue-elicited craving at the second extinction session, the one-week follow- up, and the one-month follow-up. A secondary aim is to investigate whether the effects of DCS on extinction to alcohol cues translate into changes in craving in daily life. Effects of DCS on arousal and affect in response to alcohol cues will also be examined. Affirmation of the proof-of-concept that DCS enhances extinction to alcohol cues will provide the empirical basis for subsequent clinical research on whether DCS enhances extinction- based treatment. Furthermore, the proposed study will employ a translational experimental paradigm that has the potential for investigating additional medications that may enhance extinction to alcohol cues in future studies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Extinction-based treatment is a promising approach for treating alcohol misuse but has demonstrated only modest positive outcomes in clinical trials. D-Cycloserine has been demonstrated to enhance extinction in animal and human research on anxiety and may also enhance extinction to alcohol cues. The proposed study will empirically test whether D-Cycloserine enhances extinction to alcohol cues toward improving extinction- based treatment for alcohol misuse.

描述（申请人提供）：基于灭绝的酒精依赖治疗具有较强的理论和经验基础，但在临床试验中仅取得了适度的积极成果。最近的基础和人类研究表明，D-环丝氨酸（DCS）增强了恐惧线索的灭绝，几条证据表明DCS也可能增强酒精线索的灭绝。因此，DCS可能是一种有用的药理学辅助药物，以预防为基础的治疗AUDS。这项拟议的研究是一个概念验证测试DCS是否会增强对酒精线索的消退。66名酒精依赖成人将入组一项双盲安慰剂对照两组（DCS [50 mg]/安慰剂）受试者间人体实验室研究。受试者将接受对酒精提示反应的初步测试，两次急性给药DCS或安慰剂的消退期，以及一周和一个月后的后续酒精提示反应性测试。我们假设DCS将增强对酒精线索的消退，如在第二次消退会话、一周随访和一个月随访中减弱的线索引发的渴望所证明的。第二个目的是研究DCS对酒精线索消退的影响是否会转化为日常生活中渴望的变化。DCS对唤醒和响应酒精线索的影响也将被检查。确认DCS增强对酒精线索的消退的概念验证将为后续关于DCS是否增强基于消退的治疗的临床研究提供经验基础。此外，拟议的研究将采用一种转化实验范式，该范式有可能在未来的研究中调查可能增强酒精线索消退的其他药物。 公共卫生相关性：基于消退的治疗是治疗酒精滥用的一种有前途的方法，但在临床试验中仅显示出适度的积极结果。D-环丝氨酸已被证明可以增强动物和人类焦虑研究中的消退，并且还可能增强对酒精暗示的消退。拟议的研究将实证检验D-环丝氨酸是否增强对酒精线索的消退，以改善基于消退的酒精滥用治疗。
