Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is characterized by loss of control over drinking. Behavioral control is mediated, in part, by cortical dopamine signaling. Inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), the enzyme primarily responsible for cortical dopamine inactivation, may increase cortical dopamine, especially among individuals with genetically mediated lower dopaminergic tone, such as COMT rs4680 (val158met) val-allele homozygotes. This study was a randomized, placebo-controlled, pharmacogenetic trial of the COMT inhibitor tolcapone. Ninety non-treatment-seeking AUD individuals were prospectively genotyped for rs4680 and randomized to tolcapone (200 mg t.i.d.) or placebo for 8 days. At baseline and on day 7, peripheral COMT activity was assayed, and participants completed an fMRI alcohol cue-reactivity task; on day 8, they completed a bar-lab paradigm. Primary outcomes were: (1) natural drinking during the medication period; (2) alcohol self-administration in the bar lab; and (3) alcohol cue-elicited cortical (right inferior frontal gyrus [rIFG]) and ventral striatal activation. At baseline, the rs4680 val-allele had an additive effect on COMT activity. Tolcapone, relative to placebo, reduced COMT activity in all genotype groups. COMT genotype moderated tolcapone's effect on drinking during the medication period and in the bar lab, such that tolcapone, relative to placebo, reduced drinking only among val-allele homozygotes. Tolcapone did not affect cue-elicited ventral striatal activation but reduced rIFG activation; less rIFG activation on day 7 was associated with less drinking during the medication period. Taken together, these data suggest that COMT inhibition may reduce drinking specifically among individuals genetically predisposed to excessive COMT activity and potentially low cortical dopamine tone.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02949934 https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02949934.
