Summary
Additional pharmacotherapies in the treatment of alcohol dependence are needed. Sodium
oxybate showed efficacy in the maintenance of abstinence in alcohol-dependent patients in
several small randomized trials of short duration. The aim of the present phase III/IV study
is to confirm in a randomized-controlled study the efficacy and safety of oral sodium oxybate
in the maintenance of abstinence.
