About this study
Official title: Tailored Tobacco Intervention
The project is designed to examine the effectiveness of strategies to increase access to treatment for tobacco use and dependence among rural Veteran smokers. In addition, it will examine whether tailored treatment that is designed to address common comorbid conditions that are related to cigarette smoking enhances success with quitting relative to enhanced standard of care. The investigators hypothesize that participants assigned to the tailored tobacco cessation intervention will report greater cessation rates at six months. The investigators also anticipate more favorable outcomes on measures of depressive symptoms, alcohol use, and body weight.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Tobacco use
At the six-month follow-up contact, participants will be questioned regarding self-reported tobacco use over the past seven and 30 days.
Measured: Six-month follow-up
Secondary outcomes (5)
Alcohol use
Alcohol use during the previous seven days will be assessed at the six month follow-up. Based on this information, several metrics of alcohol consumption will be obtained including: 1) average number of drinking days per week, 2) average number of drinks per drinking day, 3) number of drinks per week 4) number of heavy drinking days, and 5) maximum drinks consumed on a single occasion.
Measured: Six-month follow-up
Depressive symptoms
Depressive symptoms will be assessed at the six-month follow-up using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9).
Measured: Six-month follow-up
Body weight
Change in body weight will be assessed via self-report and chart review at the six-month follow-up.
Measured: Six-month follow-up
Physical Activity
Physical activity will be assessed by self-report at the six-month follow-up visit using the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA).
Measured: Six-month follow-up
Dietary intake
Self-reported dietary intake will be measured at six months using the Starting the Conversation - Diet questionnaire.
Measured: Six-month follow-up

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Nicotine replacement therapy - Transdermal nicotine patch, Nicotine replacement therapy - Nicotine gum and Nicotine replacement therapy - Nicotine lozenge in people with Nicotine Dependence and Tobacco Use, run by Mark Vander Weg 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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2017. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Tobacco use (time frame: Six-month follow-up). 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 NCT01892813, 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 11 Jul 2017.
