A randomised controlled trial of N-acetylcysteine for the treatment of alcohol use disorder [ 7/1/2021 - 6/30/2025 ]

Research Grant

Brief description We urgently require new treatment strategies. Alcohol misuse is a leading cause of preventable death yet treatment options are limited. We will undertake the first human trial of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for the management of alcohol use disorder (NAC-AUD). The NAC-AUD project will evaluate the efficacy and cost-efficacy of NAC to reduce alcohol consumption. The results will generate high level clinical evidence for a safe new treatment for a common life threatening disease.
