Alcohol Use Disorder Overview

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a prevalent substance use disorder marked by excessive and uncontrollable drinking that adversely affects a person’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. It can range from mild to severe, depending on the number of symptoms an individual exhibits. Those with AUD may experience both intoxication and withdrawal symptoms, including mood instability, impaired judgment, slurred speech, difficulties with attention or memory, poor coordination, sweating, rapid heart rate, hand tremors, and seizures. 

The disorder has various underlying causes, with genetic, physiological, psychological, and social factors all influencing an individual’s behavior. Healthcare professionals utilize the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) criteria for diagnosing and assessing the severity of AUD, requiring the presence of at least two out of the 11 diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-V to confirm a diagnosis.

Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment Market 

Management strategies for patients with alcohol use disorder must be customized based on several factors, including the patient’s presenting issues, the extent and duration of alcohol use, the severity of dependence, any co-occurring substance use disorders, physical and mental health conditions, and the patient’s motivation to change. It is crucial to begin the management process by engaging the patient and understanding their initial treatment goals.

The primary aim of AUD treatment is typically either complete abstinence or a significant reduction in heavy drinking. Current treatment options include medication-assisted therapy, behavioral interventions, detoxification, and psychosocial support from rehabilitation programs and support groups. While psychosocial interventions are the cornerstone of treatment, the high rates of relapse indicate that combining pharmacotherapy with psychosocial counseling and support is the most effective approach.

At present, there are four medications approved by the US FDA for medication-assisted treatment of AUD: Acamprosate, disulfiram (ANTABUSE), oral naltrexone (REVIA), and extended-release injectable naltrexone (VIVITROL). Additionally, topiramate (TOPAMAX) is recognized by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as a treatment option for AUD.

In Europe and Japan, nalmefene (SELINCRO) is approved and is among the first medications that can reduce alcohol cravings on an as-needed basis without necessitating abstinence. Other medications, such as baclofen (BACLOCUR) in France and sodium oxybate (SMO) in Italy, have also received approval in specific countries. Furthermore, the AUD market includes various off-label and generic products, including gabapentin, varenicline, benzodiazepines, memantine, ondansetron, aripiprazole, and suvorexant, among others.

Alcohol Use Disorder Emerging Drugs and Companies

Various therapies are being developed such as Adial Pharmaceutical’s AD04 (ondansetron), Corcept Therapeutics’ CORT118335 (miricorilant), Clearmind Medicine’s CMND-100, and others that shall further create a positive impact on the market. 

AD04 (ondansetron) is a serotonin-3 (5HT3) receptor antagonist designed to target specific genetic profiles, disrupting alcohol’s reinforcing effects and thereby reducing the urge to drink. It contains an ultra-low dose of ondansetron, commonly used as an anti-emetic for nausea following surgery or chemotherapy. AD04 also shows potential in treating other addictive behaviors such as opioid use disorder, gambling, and obesity. 

In 2024, Adial Pharmaceuticals advanced AD04 for alcohol use disorder (AUD), with the Phase III ONWARD trial showing a significant reduction in heavy drinking days within a genetically targeted subgroup. A post hoc analysis highlighted the drug’s strong efficacy in patients with certain genotypes. Additionally, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved Adial’s Pediatric Investigation Plan (PIP) for AD04, marking a key regulatory achievement.

CORT118335 is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist being developed to treat alcohol use disorder. It has been shown to reduce alcohol consumption in individuals with dependence during both acute withdrawal and extended abstinence periods. However, the role of GR in regulating GABA transmission in the central amygdala (CeA) is still unclear. 

Corcept Therapeutics has completed a Phase II clinical trial of CORT118335 in patients with moderate to severe AUD, in collaboration with the Scripps Research Institute and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Additionally, a Phase I clinical trial for AUD treatment is underway in partnership with Johns Hopkins University.

CMND-100 is a compound based on MEAI (5-methoxy-2-aminoindane, also known as 5-MeO-AI or Chaperon) being developed for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). MEAI is a novel, psychoactive, non-hallucinogenic molecule that has been shown to reduce cravings for alcohol while providing a mild, alcohol-like euphoria. It works by interacting with the 5-HT1a and 5-HT2a serotonergic receptors. 

Clearmind Medicine recently received approval from the Israeli Ministry of Health to begin a Phase I/IIa clinical trial to evaluate MEAI in AUD patients. While the trial has demonstrated safety and efficacy in preclinical studies, it is not yet recruiting, with an expected start date in April 2024 in the US and Israel.

The other pipeline therapies for alcohol use disorder include 

• Psilocybin: Clairvoyant Therapeutics
• BP1.3656: Bioprojet

The anticipated launch of these emerging therapies are poised to transform the alcohol use disorder market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the alcohol use disorder market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

Alcohol Use Disorder Market Dynamics

The alcohol use disorder market dynamics are anticipated to change in the coming years. Given the high rates of alcohol addiction and alcohol use disorder, which are contributing to increased mortality, there is a pressing need for effective treatments. This need presents opportunities for companies to introduce new therapies to the market. 

Recent advancements in understanding the neurobiological, genetic, epigenetic, psychological, social, and environmental factors critical to the etiology and treatment of AUD offer companies the chance to implement this knowledge in clinical practice and evaluate potential drugs targeting novel pathways. Ultimately, expanding patient access to pharmacotherapeutic options is essential for the AUD population.

Furthermore, many potential therapies are being investigated for the treatment of alcohol use disorder, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will significantly impact the alcohol use disorder market during the forecast period. Moreover, the anticipated introduction of emerging therapies with improved efficacy and a further improvement in the diagnosis rate is expected to drive the growth of the alcohol use disorder market in the 7MM.

However, several factors may impede the growth of the alcohol use disorder market. The most common treatments for AUD aim to achieve abstinence and typically include psychological and social interventions. However, underdiagnosis and under-treatment remain prevalent due to factors such as stigma, gender barriers, and others. 

The development of new treatment protocols for AUD is further complicated by challenges in accurately measuring alcohol consumption patterns in patients and the numerous end-organ comorbidities associated with excessive alcohol use. Additionally, country-specific epidemiologic data on diagnosis, severity, and treatment are limited due to changes in AUD diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV to DSM-V.

Moreover, alcohol use disorder treatment poses a significant economic burden and disrupts patients’ overall well-being and QOL. Furthermore, the alcohol use disorder market growth may be offset by failures and discontinuation of emerging therapies, unaffordable pricing, market access and reimbursement issues, and a shortage of healthcare specialists. In addition, the undiagnosed, unreported cases and the unawareness about the disease may also impact the alcohol use disorder market growth.
