About this study

Official title: A Single-center, Open-label, Ascending Nicotine Levels Study to Investigate the Nicotine Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamics Profiles, Safety and Tolerability of P3L in Smoking Healthy Subjects in Relation to Nicorette® Inhalator

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD, i.e., subjective effects) profiles, and the safety and tolerability of the nicotine-containing aerosol delivered by Platform 3 Liquid (P3L) system at three different nicotine levels in smoking healthy subjects in relation to Nicorette® inhalator.

Read the detailed description

The entire study will last between 16 to 49 days per subject. This includes :

  • a screening period of up to 4 weeks prior to admission,
  • 1 day of admission (Visit 2): after all inclusion/exclusion criteria are checked, all eligible subjects will be enrolled and perform a product test, first with P3L (at nicotine dose levels of approximately 50 μg/puff) and subsequently with Nicorette® inhalator (3 to 5 inhalations for each product).
  • 4 days of on-site product use (one day with Nicorette® inhalator [Visit 3] and three days with P3L [Visit 4, Visit 5 and Visit 6]),
  • 1 to 3 days between each product use and
  • a 7-day safety follow-up period (discharge + 7 days), during which there are no scheduled investigational visits, and during which adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) can be spontaneously reported by the subjects and the follow-up of AEs/SAEs will be conducted by the study investigational site.

Subjects will come to the investigational site the night before each assessment day, at least 12 hours prior to the product use, on Visit 4, Visit 5, and Visit 6. Subjects will stay overnight at the investigational site between the admission visit (Visit 2) and Visit 3. Smoking or use of any tobacco/nicotine-containing products or electronic cigarettes, apart from product use assigned on the assessment days, will not be allowed during their stay at the investigational site. Smoking will be allowed once the subjects have left the investigational site.

The maximum concentration of nicotine (Cmax) and the area under the concentration-time curve from start of product use to the last quantifiable time point (AUC0-last) will be derived from multiple blood sampling pre- and post-product use, and corrected for baseline nicotine concentration.

What participants receive

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

  • Nicorette® inhalatorOther

    Subjects will inhale the Nicorette® inhalator (15 mg) at the rate of one deep inhalation every 15 seconds on average, over approximately 20 minutes (80 inhalations in total).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Nicorette® inhalator and P3L in people with Smoking, run by Philip Morris Products S.A. at 1 site in New Zealand.

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 5 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 24 Feb 2020. 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 New Zealand. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Concentration (Cmax) of Nicotine Following Single Use of Nicorette® Inhalator (time frame: Visit 3: blood taken at 45, 30 and 15 minutes prior to T0 and 2, 4, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 120, and 240 minutes after T0.). The study lists 16 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02532374, 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 24 Feb 2020.
