Official title: A Single-Center, Randomized, Open-Label, Crossover Study to Assess Elements of Abuse Liability for Three Menthol Electronic Cigarettes
The purpose of this study is to measure plasma nicotine uptake parameters, physiological measures, and subjective effect measures in smokers during and following a single ad libitum use of three menthol electronic cigarettes versus combustible menthol cigarettes and nicotine gum.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Own Brand Menthol Cigarette, Electronic Menthol Cigarette #1 and Electronic Menthol Cigarette #2 in people with Smoking, run by R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company 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 11 inclusion and 10 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 4 Jun 2018. 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.
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?
Nicotine pharmacokinetics with respect to initiation of in-clinic investigational product (IP) use following a 12-hour tobacco and nicotine abstinence (time frame: -5, -0.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120, 150, 180, 240, 300, 360 minutes).
