ASP-8062, or ASP8062, is a GABAB receptor positive allosteric modulator which is under development for the treatment of alcoholism.[1][3][4] It was also under development for the treatment of fibromyalgia and opioid-related disorders, but development for these indications was discontinued.[1] The drug is taken orally.[1][2]
Pharmacology
It shows analgesic and antiaddictive effects in animals.[4][5][6][7] In a polysomnography study, ASP-8062 dose-dependently enhanced slow wave sleep (SWS; deep sleep) without affecting REM sleep in humans.[8] It also dose-dependently increased growth hormone (GH) release.[8] The time to peak levels of ASP-8062 in humans is 1 to 4 hours and its elimination half-life is approximately 40 to 50 hours.[2]
Development
ASP-8062 is under development by Astellas Pharma in collaboration with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).[1] As of June 2023, it is in phase 2 clinical trials for alcoholism.[1][4][9] The drug is the most advanced GABAB receptor positive allosteric modulator in clinical trials as of 2024.[4][9][6]
