About this study

Official title: Tobacco Cessation in Postmenopausal Women - Part I & Part II

This study investigated whether being on transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influenced smoking cessation variables in postmenopausal women undergoing short-term abstinence from cigarettes. Women were recruited into two groups according to their pre-enrollment medication status - currently on HRT (n = 17) or not on HRT (n = 13). The HRT group had their prior medication replaced with a standard 0.1 mg estradiol transdermal system and 2.5 mg of Cycrin daily. Following two weeks of medication adjustment, participants continued smoking as usual for one week, at which time baseline measurements were taken. For the remaining two weeks, participants were instructed to quit smoking. They were provided with smoking cessation counseling and monitored for abstinence. Data were collected during five clinic visits on all dependent measures: Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Scale, Profile of Mood States, Motor Speed Tasks, and Reaction Time Test.

Part II is identical to Part I, except it randomizes participants to use nicotine patch or not.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Part 2 in people with HRT and Non-HRT, run by University of Minnesota.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 26 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

During short term smoking abstinence, do the beneficial effects of nicotine replacement therapy on acute symptomatology differ in women who use and do not use hormone replacement therapy? (time frame: Outcome was measured after 1 baseline week and a 2 week 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 26 Jun 2020.
