I found this while looking through the web:

It's not a new study, but rather a summary of all the other studies the author was able to locate on the internet. I've copied the conclusion for convenience:
CONCLUSION
Baclofen should be considered as another medication to try in the treatment of alcoholism.
Patients with intense cravings for alcohol may have greater benefit in cessation of alcohol use as
baclofen significantly and quickly decreases cravings. Both the high safety and low side effect profile
make baclofen a reasonable option to try. Since the amount of research on the topic is minimal,
clinicians need to use their judgment and may want to try baclofen only after first attempting other
treatment options. The duration and dosage of baclofen is uncertain and will need to be adjusted on a
patient by patient basis
