Frequently asked questions about AD04

What is AD04 used for?

AD04 is being developed for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in adults. It is a small molecule therapeutic candidate studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial that enrolled 302 adults aged 18 and older with AUD. The trial was conducted in Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Poland, and Sweden.

What does AD04 target?

AD04 targets the serotonin-3 receptor, a receptor in the serotonin system. By acting on this receptor, AD04 is designed to modulate serotonin signaling, which is being investigated for its role in alcohol use disorder. The drug is a small molecule developed by Adial Pharmaceuticals.

Who is developing AD04?

AD04 is being developed by Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company whose common stock trades under the ticker symbol ADIL. Adial Pharmaceuticals is advancing AD04 as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorder.

What phase is AD04 in?

AD04 is in Phase 3 clinical development for alcohol use disorder. It has completed one Phase 3 trial, NCT04101227, which was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 302 participants. AD04 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is AD04 in?

AD04 has been studied in the Phase 3 trial NCT04101227, titled "Study to Evaluate AD04 in Adults With Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Selected Serotonin Transporter Polymorphisms." This trial is completed and enrolled 302 adults across seven European countries. No other clinical trials of AD04 are currently active.

Is AD04 the same as ondansetron?

AD04 is also known as AD04 (ondansetron). The active ingredient in AD04 is ondansetron, a small molecule that targets the serotonin-3 receptor. Adial Pharmaceuticals is developing AD04 as a potential treatment for alcohol use disorder.
