Investigational new drug (ind)-enabling study for a new therapeutic for alcohol use disorder (aud) - summary. While the stress response is essential for survival, IT can become dysregulated. Overactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis plays a mechanistic role in the pathophysiology of alcohol use disorder (aud). This SBIR Phase I proposal in response to PAR-22-102 is aimed at initiating investigational new drug (ind)-enabling studies for an innovative first-in-class therapeutic aimed at the chronic management of pathologic hpa axis hyperactivity for the treatment of aud. Evidence indicates that preventing excessive hpa activation in the setting of aud will restore hpa negative feedback and reset the system at more physiological levels, reducing motivation for drinking and relapse. Therapeutics to modulate the hpa axis have been under research for decades. Several medications for hpa axis hyperactivity have been studied extensively but have generally been unsatisfactory due to limited efficacy on the hpa and side effects. Thus, there is a considerable unmet medical need for identification of novel therapeutics to normalize hpa hyperactivity that are effective and tolerable for long-term use.

Where this comes from

The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs set aside part of federal research budgets for small companies. Agencies award them in phases: Phase I tests whether an idea is feasible, Phase II funds development, and Phase III is follow-on work paid for outside the set-aside. STTR awards also require a research institution as a partner.

Every figure on this page is taken from the award's own federal record, linked beside it, as it stood when the page was built: the recipient, its address, the awarding agency and office, the amount obligated so far, the dates and the description. Phase and program are shown as the award's own description states them. The amount can grow later if the agency adds funding to the same award.
