About this study

Official title: Neuropsychological and Psychopathological Prognosis Factors of Smoking Cessation

The low overall effectiveness of available smoking cessation treatment so far, indicate the need for new and more efficacious ways to help smokers maintain abstinence. Smokers are a highly heterogeneous population. Identification of individual characteristics that predict success in smoking cessation is highly desirable to allow designing more specific strategies in order to enhance success in quitting tobacco.The main objective of this study is to assess whether the presence of certain neuropsychological deficits found before the initiation of smoking cessation is associated with a greater relapse rate.The secondary objectives concern how neuropsychological performance are involved in motivation and craving in the whole sample of smokers or in subsample. Long-term perspective is to define clinical or neuropsychological factors associated with agood or poor prognosis for success and provived more specific and therefore more effective care.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective multicenter study. Patients will be recruited to anti tobacco consultations in the Montpellier and Clermont-Ferrand University Hospitals. The initial assessment includes a clinical assessment of smoking history, Axis I disorders history, motivation to quit and craving, a neuropsychological assessment : NART, RVIP task, trail Making Test, Stroop, Iowa gambling task, Hayling test, N back, verbal fluency. Then patients will be reviewed 3 times in 6 months. These visits include: CO level and cigarette consumption since the last visit, cessation strategy (medication, observance … ), tobacco craving questionnary, withdrawal symptoms, abstinence.

The primary endpoint will be smoking abstinence objectified by the rate of carbon monoxide measured at each visit. Subjects who emerge from the study prematurely, especially patients lost to follow will be considered as failures in the statistical analysis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • neuropsychological assessmentBehavioural

    The main criterion of evaluation of the smoking abstinence will be made by the measure of the rate of carbon monoxide (CO) in the expired air between the study start and during the study until 6 months after inclusion.

    The secondary criteria of evaluation are criteria of neuropsychological order, namely the performances in the tests listed: result of NART test,Continuous Performance Test (CPT), Trail Making test, Stroop test, Iowa gambling task. (IGT), Hayling test, N back test, fluence verbal test

What is being measured

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

  1. neuropsychological test

    There primary outcome is to assess if smokers with low attentional level (defined has the median of the sample in Nback and RVIP tasks) are at higher level of relapse at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Interactions neuropsychological performance and clinical conditions in patients with psychiatric desease

    To study other cognitive performance such as decision making abilities on smoking cessation rates at 6 months. To assess in transversal design the link beetween cognitive functioning and some well known pronostic factors of smoking cessation such as motivation or craving before smoking initiation To study the interaction between neuropsychological performance and clinical conditions that may affect cognitive performance on the rate of abstinence. These tests will be done in subgroups of patients with the characteristic of interest such as a current depressive disorders.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Interactions neuropsychological performance and clinical conditions in patients with hyperactivity disorders

    To study other cognitive performance such as decision making abilities on smoking cessation rates at 6 months. To assess in transversal design the link beetween cognitive functioning and some well known pronostic factors of smoking cessation such as motivation or craving before smoking initiation To study the interaction between neuropsychological performance and clinical conditions that may affect cognitive performance on the rate of abstinence. These tests will be done in subgroups of patients with the characteristic of interest such as a current hyperactivity disorders.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing neuropsychological assessment in people with Smoking Cessation and Nicotine Dependence, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 31 Dec 2014. 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 France. 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?

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?

neuropsychological test (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01554436, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Dec 2014.
