About this study

Official title: High-Dose Versus Regular-Dose Nicotine Patch for Nicotine Dependence in Individuals With Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder

The purpose of this study is to test the use of High-Dose versus Regular-Dose Nicotine Patch for Nicotine Dependence in Individuals with Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective Disorder

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized double-blind placebo controlled 8 week outpatient medication clinical trial to evaluate the relative efficacy of High-Dose (42mg) versus Regular Dose (21mg) nicotine patch treatment for individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and nicotine dependence. It also has a placebo controlled continuation phase to examine if longer duration of treatment is more effective than a standard eight week dosing schedule. The literature supports that schizophrenics have an increased rates of smoking and are more likely to be dependent on nicotine. Nicotine gum and patches are safe and now approved for over the counter sale in the United States. High dose patch therapy is well tolerated and provides more complete nicotine replacement. This improves withdrawal symptom relief and it is hypothesized that abstinence rates from smoking will be greater in the high dose patch group. Few trials have examined the usefulness of nicotine replacement therapy in this population and preliminary evidence shows lower than expected success rates of smoking cessation with conventional treatments

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Interim data analysis showed no effect between treatment groups). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

continuous abstinence from smoking (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00046813, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
