About this study
Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of 2 Oral Doses of Rimonabant, 5mg/Day or 20mg/Day, Versus Placebo, as an Aid to Smoking Cessation; Multiple Country, Randomized, Double-blind, 3-arm, 10-week Treatment, 40-week Follow-up
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of 2 fixed doses of rimonabant versus placebo on abstinence from tobacco use in cigarette smokers.
The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects of rimonabant on craving and weight and on the clinical and biological safety and tolerability of rimonabant in a population of cigarette tobacco smokers during a 10-week treatment period and to observe the percentage of abstinent subjects during a 40-week follow-up post treatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing rimonabant in people with Smoking Cessation, run by Sanofi at 7 sites in 7 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, Denmark, France, Spain, Sweden and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Prolonged abstinence from smoking during the last 4 weeks of treatment reported by the subject and confirmed by exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) and cotinine measurements. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
