About this study

Official title: Bioequivalence Between Oral Nicotine Replacement Products and Nicorette® Gum - A Study in Healthy Smokers

Bioequivalence between oral nicotine replacement products and Nicorette® gum.

Read the detailed description

This study compares a new oral Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) product containing 2 and 4 mg nicotine with Nicorette® gum 2 mg and 4 mg, after 12 hours of nicotine abstinence, with respect to nicotine pharmacokinetics, during 10 hours after start of administration. Single doses of each treatment are given once in the morning during four separate treatment visits scheduled in a crossover setting with randomized treatment sequences. The study will include 88 healthy smokers between 18-50 years, who have been smoking at least 10 cigarettes daily during at least one year preceding inclusion. Subjects and study personnel will be aware of which treatment is administered at a given visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetic measurements

    Pharmacokinetic measurements including:

    • the maximum observed nicotine concentration in plasma (Cmax)
    • the area under the plasma concentration-vs.-time curve until the last measurable concentration (AUCt)
    • the area under the plasma concentration-vs.-time curve until infinity (AUCinf)

    Measured: Baseline and during 10 hours after product administration

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Tmax

    The time of occurrence of Cmax (tmax) following product administration

    Measured: during 10 hours after start of product administration

  2. λz

    The terminal nicotine elimination rate constant (λz)

    Measured: during 10 hours after start of product administration

  3. Residual Nicotine

    The amount of nicotine released from Nicorette® gum 2 and 4 mg during 30 minutes' chewing.

    Measured: After 30 minutes of chewing

  4. Dissolution Time

    Actual time required for oral dissolution of new NRT products following product administration

    Measured: From product administration until completely dissolved

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nicotine and Nicorette® (Nicotine Gum) in people with Tobacco Dependence, run by McNeil AB at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. 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.

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?

Pharmacokinetic measurements (time frame: Baseline and during 10 hours after product administration). 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 Jul 2012.
