    3. Have a persistent desire or unsuccessful effort(s) to reduce or control alcohol use.
  • Drink on average more than 14 drinks (women) or 21 drinks (men) per week with at least 2 heavy drinking days per week (≥4 drinks/day for women and ≥5 drinks/day for men) during the consecutive 30 day period prior to Screening and maintained through Randomization.
  • Endorse abstinence or reduction in drinking.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 2 months following the last dose of study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

Number of Participants With Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol Scale (CIWA-Ar)≥10 at Any Time From Baseline Through Week 16 Endpoint
The revised CIWA-Ar scale measured the severity of alcohol withdrawal by rating 10 signs and symptoms: nausea; tremor; autonomic hyperactivity; anxiety; agitation; tactile, visual, and auditory disturbances; headache; and disorientation. Total scores range from 0-67. Higher scores indicate greater severity of withdrawal.
Change From Baseline in Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) Total Score at Week 16 Endpoint
The GSRS is a clinician-administered scale used to assess upper and lower gastrointestinal physical symptoms. 15 items covering domains of abdominal pain, reflux syndrome, indigestion syndrome, diarrhea syndrome, and constipation syndrome were assessed with a 1-week recall period.

Least Squares (LS) Mean value was controlled for treatment, pooled investigator, gender, family history, visit, baseline, gender*family history, treatment*visit, baseline*visit. An unstructured covariance structure was used.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Have Alcohol Dependence. Subjects must manifest at least the following 3 requirements for their diagnosis of Alcohol Dependence: Be tolerant, as defined by either of the following: A need for markedly increased amounts of alcohol to achieve intoxication or desired effect.

Have a persistent desire or unsuccessful effort(s) to reduce or control alcohol use. Drink on average more than 14 drinks (women) or 21 drinks (men) per week with at least 2 heavy drinking days per week (≥4 drinks/day for women and ≥5 drinks/day for men) during the consecutive 30 day period prior to Screening and maintained through Randomization. Endorse abstinence or reduction in drinking. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 2 months following the last dose of study drug. Exclusion Criteria: Have experienced an acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome within the past 6 months or are currently at significant risk of suffering an acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Have a history of serious head injury, intracranial neoplasm or hemorrhage, prior seizure (other than remote history of childhood febrile seizure), or other condition that would place the subject at increased risk of seizure. Have ever taken anticonvulsants for seizure control. Are diagnosed with substance dependence or abuse (other than alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, or caffeine) within 6 months prior to Screening.

Are actively suicidal, in the opinion of the investigator. Have taken any opiate or opioid analgesic (for example, codeine, hydrocodone) or an opiate receptor antagonist (for example, naltrexone) within 14 days prior to Screening.
