Neuroimaging funzionale della vulnerabilità dell'alcolismo: sondare il glutammato e la ricompensa, utilizzando l'inibitore mGluR5 Mavoglurant

23 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: Godfrey Pearlson, Yale University

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of Mavoglurant in clarifying the neurobiology of alcoholism risk. This is a one-site, randomized, within subjects, counterbalanced double-blind study of a single dose (200mg) of Mavoglurant and placebo.

Descrizione dettagliata

This project explores the effects of 1 dose of Mavoglurant, an experimental non-competitive antagonist to metabotropic glutamate receptor-5 (mGlur5) developed by Novartis, in a double-blind, randomized, counterbalanced manner on alcoholism risk-relevant tasks. Drug/placebo will be administered on 2 separate visits separated by 1 week. More specifically, this project examines 4 functional MRI tasks related to different aspects of reward and/or impulsivity-related behavior in different contexts, compares the underlying neural circuitry across tasks, and uses a pharmacologic probe of the glutamatergic system to examine N-methyl-D-Aspartate and Dopamine (NMDA/DA) interactions. The combined measures provide the opportunity to advance our understanding of specific aspects of brain function related to familial alcoholism vulnerability in an already well characterized population as some members evolve into alcohol abuse. In addition, as well as conventional within-task analyses, functional network connectivity and allied approaches will be used to examine brain networks across the tasks.

Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: FHP; Mavoglurant-Placebo

Family History Positive (FHP) for alcoholism will be given a single dose of AFQ056 (200 mg) then placebo in two separate experimental study visits separated by 1 week. Drug and Placebo administered 2 hours prior to the MRI and other measures.

Two 100mg tablets of Mavoglurant will be administered on the morning of one of the two experimental days by a RN or the physician investigator.

Two matching tablets of placebo will be administered on the morning of one of the two experimental days by an RN or the physician investigator.
