About this study

Official title: Nicotine Pharmacodynamics With a New Oral Nicotine Replacement Product and Nicotine Gum 4 mg. A Study in Healthy Smokers

A comparison of two products for oral nicotine replacement with respect to relief of urges to smoke after single doses of nicotine.

Read the detailed description

This study will be performed at two sites and two-hundred and fifty (250) healthy male and female subjects will be included. Treatments comprise single doses of an experimental Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and Nicorette Freshfruit gum 4 mg, which are chewed during 30 minutes. All subjects will be given both treatments in a crossover setting. The length of the time interval separating treatment visits, and during which no NRT must be used, will be at least 36 hours.

The subjects will abstain from smoking from 8 pm the evening before until the end of each visit. The subjects will take the gums according to instructions from the study personnel. After chewing, used gums will be collected for nicotine analysis.

Electronic diaries will be used to collect data. Urges to smoke will be scored on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) before the start of treatment and during 5 hours thereafter. Subjects will also be monitored to capture any adverse events that may occur.

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 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Area Under the Curve (AUC): Urges to Smoke-vs-Time (time frame: During 5 hours post-dose). 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?
