About this study
Official title: Project 2: Identifying Optimal Smoking Cessation Intervention Components
The goal of this research is to identify the best smoking cessation intervention components to be combined into a state-on-the-art, comprehensive smoking cessation intervention. This research examines the ability of different interventions, provided both prior to and after the quit attempt, to maximize the ability to initially quit and then stay quit. The investigators will be examining six different treatment interventions: pre-quit nicotine patch, pre-quit nicotine gum, pre-quit counseling, post-quit in-person counseling, post-quit phone counseling and duration of post-quit nicotine replacement therapy.
- Conditions
- Smoking, Smoking Cessation, Nicotine Dependence

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Counseling before quit attemptBehavioural
Participants randomized to this condition will have 20-minute in-person counseling sessions 1 and 3 weeks before their target quit day and a 20-minute phone counseling session 2 weeks before their target quit day. In the in-person counseling session, the case manager will address issues such as smoking reduction, withdrawal coping, environmental restrictions on smoking, intra-treatment social support, autonomous motivation, and practice quit attempts. Participants will be asked to engage in two practice quit attempts. These attempts will each last 8 hours and will be assigned (in collaboration with the smoker) to occur on one weekend day and one weekday the second and third weeks after the quit day.
Minimal In-person counseling during quit attemptBehavioural
Participants randomized to minimal in-person counseling will receive one 3-minute in-person session occurring one week before their target quit day. The clinician will also inform the participant of the sort of phone counseling follow-up that s/he will receive in 1 and 2 weeks after their quit date. (This resembles the real-world situation in which the clinician discusses the sort of follow-up intervention a patient will receive.)
Intensive in-person counseling during the quit attemptBehavioural
Participants randomized to intensive in-person counseling will receive three 20-minute face-to-face counseling sessions: one during the week before the target quit day, one on the target quit day and one during the week after the target quite day. The counseling will include intra-treatment social support and skill-based competence intervention components.
Minimal phone counseling during the quit attemptBehavioural
Participants randomized to this condition will receive minimal phone counseling consisting of one 10-minute phone counseling session on the morning of the target quit day. This session will address motivation to quit, strategies for coping with urges to smoke and use of the medication, and will provide support. Thus, all participants will get some counseling support on the quit day, which reflects the fact that initial lapses often occur on the target quit day, and quit day smoking is an important determinant of ultimate outcome.
Intensive phone counseling during the quit attemptBehavioural
Participants randomized to this condition will receive intensive phone counseling consisting of three 15-minute phone sessions (on the morning of the target quit day and on days 2 and 10 after the quit day). The content of the target quit day phone call will emphasize intra-treatment social support, skill execution and avoidance of danger situations. The quit day phone call is intended to augment any other clinician counseling received either on the phone or in person; such interventions tend to have additive effects and produce strong dose-response effects as a function of the duration of the counseling intervention.
Long Term Nicotine Patch+ Nicotine Gum During Quit AttemptDrug
If randomized to this condition:
After the target quit day:
Patch:
IF > 10 cigs/day: one 21 mg nicotine patch per day for 12 weeks, THEN one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks, THEN one 7 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks.
IF < or = 10 cigs/day: one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 12 weeks, then one 7 mg for 4 weeks.
Gum:
IF > 24 cigs/day: ten 4 mg nicotine gum per day for 16 weeks. IF < or = 24 cigs/day: ten 2 mg nicotine patch per day for 16 weeks.
Short Term Nicotine Patch + Nicotine Gum during the quit attemptDrug
If randomized to this condition:
After the target quit day:
Patch:
IF > 10 cigs/day: one 21 mg nicotine patch per day for 4 weeks, THEN one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks, THEN one 7 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks.
IF < or = 10 cigs/day: one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 4 weeks, then one 7 mg for 4 weeks.
Gum:
IF > 24 cigs/day: ten 4 mg nicotine gum per day for 8 weeks. IF < or = 24 cigs/day: ten 2 mg nicotine gum per day for 8 weeks.
Pre-Quit Nicotine GumDrug
If randomized to only the Pre-Quit Nicotine Gum condition (and not the Pre-Quit Nicotine Patch):
Before quitting: Everyone will have ten 2 mg nicotine gum per day for 2 weeks before the target quit day.
Pre-Quit Nicotine PatchDrug
If randomized to only the Pre-Quit Nicotine Patch condition (and not the Pre-Quit Nicotine Gum):
Before quitting: Everyone will have one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks before the target quit day.
Pre-Quit Nicotine Patch + Pre-Quit Nicotine GumDrug
If randomized to both the Prequit Patch and Prequit Gum Conditions:
Before quitting: Everyone will have ten 2 mg nicotine gum per day for 2 weeks and one 14 mg nicotine patch per day for 2 weeks before the target quit day.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence
Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence is a dichotomous outcome with values of 0 and 1 where 0=smoking on one or more of the past 7 days at the assessment endpoint (16 weeks post-quit) and 1=no smoking on any of the past 7 days at the assessment endpoint (i.e., abstinent for the past 7 days); this outcome will be analyzed in a logistic regression analysis model.
Note: This abstinence primary outcome replaces latency to relapse (now designated as a secondary outcome) because reviewers of the now-accepted manuscript (at the journal "Addiction") advised us to change the primary outcome to the current week 16 Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence outcome.
Measured: 16 weeks post-quit
Secondary outcomes (1)
Latency to Relapse
Latency to Relapse during the first 6 months post-quit, with relapse defined as 7 consecutive days of smoking; this outcome will be analyzed in a Cox regression survival analysis model with non-relapsers coded as right-censored.
Measured: During the first 6 months post-quit

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this research is to identify the best smoking cessation intervention components to be combined into a state-on-the-art, comprehensive smoking cessation intervention. This research examines the ability of different interventions, provided both prior to and after the quit attempt, to maximize the ability to initially quit and then stay quit. The investigators will be examining six different treatment interventions: pre-quit nicotine patch, pre-quit nicotine gum, pre-quit counseling, post-quit in-person counseling, post-quit phone counseling and duration of post-quit nicotine replacement therapy.

Interventions
| Intervention | Type | Arms |
|---|---|---|
| Counseling before quit attemptParticipants randomized to this condition will have 20-minute in-person counseling sessions 1 and 3 weeks before their target quit day and a 20-minute phone counseling session 2 weeks before their target quit day. In the in-person counseling session, the case manager will address issues such as smoking reduction, withdrawal coping, environmental restrictions on smoking, intra-treatment social support, autonomous motivation, and practice quit attempts. Participants will be asked to engage in two practice quit attempts. These attempts will each last 8 hours and will be assigned (in collaboration with the smoker) to occur on one weekend day and one weekday the second and third weeks after the quit day. | Behavioural | 1, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 10, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 11, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 12, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 17, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 18, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 19, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 2, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 20, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 25, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 26, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 27, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 28, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 3, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 4, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 9, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk |
| Minimal In-person counseling during quit attemptParticipants randomized to minimal in-person counseling will receive one 3-minute in-person session occurring one week before their target quit day. The clinician will also inform the participant of the sort of phone counseling follow-up that s/he will receive in 1 and 2 weeks after their quit date. (This resembles the real-world situation in which the clinician discusses the sort of follow-up intervention a patient will receive.) | Behavioural | 1, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 10, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 13, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 14, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 17, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 18, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 2, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 21, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 22, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 25, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 26, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 29, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16, 30, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8W, 5, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 6, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 9, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk |
| Intensive in-person counseling during the quit attemptParticipants randomized to intensive in-person counseling will receive three 20-minute face-to-face counseling sessions: one during the week before the target quit day, one on the target quit day and one during the week after the target quite day. The counseling will include intra-treatment social support and skill-based competence intervention components. | Behavioural | 11, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 12, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 15, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 16, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 19, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 20, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 23, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 24, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 27, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 28, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 3, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 31, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8W, 32, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16, 4, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 7, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 8, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk |
| Minimal phone counseling during the quit attemptParticipants randomized to this condition will receive minimal phone counseling consisting of one 10-minute phone counseling session on the morning of the target quit day. This session will address motivation to quit, strategies for coping with urges to smoke and use of the medication, and will provide support. Thus, all participants will get some counseling support on the quit day, which reflects the fact that initial lapses often occur on the target quit day, and quit day smoking is an important determinant of ultimate outcome. | Behavioural | 1, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 11, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 13, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 15, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 17, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 19, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 21, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 23, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 25, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 27, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 29, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16, 3, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 31, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8W, 5, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk, 7, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Min Phone, 8Wk, 9, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Min Phone, 16Wk |
| Intensive phone counseling during the quit attemptParticipants randomized to this condition will receive intensive phone counseling consisting of three 15-minute phone sessions (on the morning of the target quit day and on days 2 and 10 after the quit day). The content of the target quit day phone call will emphasize intra-treatment social support, skill execution and avoidance of danger situations. The quit day phone call is intended to augment any other clinician counseling received either on the phone or in person; such interventions tend to have additive effects and produce strong dose-response effects as a function of the duration of the counseling intervention. | Behavioural | 10, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 12, Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 14, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 16, Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 18, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 2, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 20, No Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 22, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 24, No Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 26, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk, 28, No Patch, No Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 30, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8W, 32, No Patch, No Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16, 4, Patch, Gum, Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 6, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Min In-Person, Int Phone, 8Wk, 8, Patch, Gum, No Prequit, Int In-Person, Int Phone, 16Wk |

Primary outcome
Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence
Time frame: 16 weeks post-quit
Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence is a dichotomous outcome with values of 0 and 1 where 0=smoking on one or more of the past 7 days at the assessment endpoint (16 weeks post-quit) and 1=no smoking on any of the past 7 days at the assessment endpoint (i.e., abstinent for the past 7 days); this outcome will be analyzed in a logistic regression analysis model. Note: This abstinence primary outcome replaces latency to relapse (now designated as a secondary outcome) because reviewers of the now-accepted manuscript (at the journal "Addiction") advised us to change the primary outcome to the current week 16 Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence outcome.
1 secondary outcome
Latency to Relapse
Time frame: During the first 6 months post-quit

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Counseling before quit attempt, Minimal In-person counseling during quit attempt and Intensive in-person counseling during the quit attempt in people with Smoking and Smoking Cessation, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 1 site in United States.
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 7 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 11 Dec 2015. 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 United States. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Mar 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Self-Reported 7-Day Point-Prevalence Abstinence (time frame: 16 weeks post-quit). 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 11 Dec 2015.
