About this study

Official title: Multiple-dose Nicotine Pharmacokinetics With Three Oral Nicotine Replacement Products. A Study in Healthy Smokers.

Multiple-dose nicotine pharmacokinetics with three oral nicotine replacement products. A study in healthy smokers.

Read the detailed description

Fifty (50) healthy male or female subjects between the ages of 19 and 50 years, inclusive, smoking at least 20 cigarettes daily during at least one year preceding inclusion. Multiple doses of all study treatments are given either every 60 minutes or every 90 minutes, respectively. All products will be administered in accordance with labeling, on five separate treatment visits. The subjects will abstain from smoking from 8 pm in the evening before and until the end of each visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration

    Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which is the maximum (peak) concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma within the last dosing interval, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

  2. Average Concentration

    Average Nicotine Plasma Concentration (Cav) within the last dosing interval

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

  3. Area Under the Curve

    Area under the nicotine plasma concentration-vs.-time curve during the last dosing interval (AUCt)

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time of Maximum Concentration

    The time at which maximum concentration is reached (Tmax)

    Measured: During 12 hours post-dose

  2. Minimum Observed Concentration

    Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmin), which is the minimum concentration (amount of drug) measurable in blood plasma within the last dosing interval, measured in nanograms/milliliter (ng/mL)

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

  3. Peak-Trough Fluctuation

    Percent of Peak-Trough Fluctuation in one dosing interval at steady state (PTF)

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

  4. Swing

    Swing in one dosing interval at steady state, calculated as (Cmax-Cmin)/ Cmin

    Measured: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)

  5. Nicotine Released

    The amount of nicotine released from the product during product administration

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nicotine 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 5 inclusion and 3 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (time frame: within the last dosing interval (starting at 10.5-11 hours after first product administration)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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.
