HIC # 12069
This study, titled Topiramate for the Treatment of Alcohol Dependent Binge - Eating Disordered Individuals, is an outpatient clinical trial testing the effectiveness of topiramate to treat alcohol dependent binge eaters. Individuals interested in participating must be obese, alcohol dependent, and binge - eating.
Qualifying individuals will attend 12 visits once a week at UVA CARE's outpatient facility. These visits will last about 2 hours during which time participants will receive the study medications, medical assessment, and outpatient counseling; all at no cost to the participant.
This is an open label clinical trial meaning that all participants will receive the study medication.
Screening for this study is initially done over the telephone and takes 10-15 minutes. If there is nothing found from the telephone pre-screen that would make someone ineligible to participate they then come into the clinic for a more thorough in clinic screen which last about 6 hours.
