About this study

Official title: A Single-Dose, Open-Label, Three-way Crossover Bioequivalence Study of Three, 2 mg Nicotine Chewing Gums (Two Tests and One Reference) in Chinese Male Healthy Adult Smokers

This is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, three-period, crossover, single-center comparative bioavailability (BA) study under fasting condition in Chinese healthy male adult participants with a history of cigarette smoking. The participants will be admitted to the investigational clinic at least 38 hours before dosing and will remain domiciled until the completion of all study procedures at approximately 24 hours after dosing. Three toothpastes (one is commercial non-medicated non-nicotine containing chewing gum and other two are nicotine containing gums) will be provided across the 3 treatment periods. During each of the 3 treatment periods, participants will be under supervision in a non-smoking area and will abstain from smoking.There will be a total of at least 7 days and not more than 10 days (clinical furlough period) between treatment periods. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis at baseline and multiple time points following study drug administration. The trial duration will be approximately 49 days and up to 55 days from screening to study end including the screening period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under the curve from time zero to last sampling time [AUC(0-t)]

    AUC(0-t) will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  2. Area under the curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity [AUC(0-inf)]

    The area under the plasma concentration versus time curve will be calculated from time 0 to infinity where AUC = AUClast + Clast/λz Clast is the concentration at the last measurable sampling time point and λz is the terminal elimination rate constant. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  3. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Cmax will be obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  4. Time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Tmax will be obtained graphically from the plasma concentration over time profile. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  5. Termination rate constant (Lambda_z)

    Lambda_z will be computed as the slope of the regression line of ln (C(t)) on time. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  6. Elimination half life (t1/2)

    T1/2 will be computed as T1/2 = 0.693/ λz. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  7. Systemic clearance (CL/F)

    CL/F will be calculated as the Dose/AUCinf, where Dose is the actual nicotine dose released. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

  8. Apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F)

    Vd/F will be determined by the following equation: Vz/F = Dose/(lambda_z · AUCinf), where Dose is the actual nicotine dose released. Twenty (20) blood samples will be collected at baseline and multiple timepoints following study drug administration.

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Treatment A: Nicorette 2 mg coated mint gum, Treatment B: Nicotinell 2 mg coated mint gum and Treatment C: Nicotinell 2 mg coated fruit flavor gum in people with Tobacco Use Disorder, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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 19 Dec 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 China. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Area under the curve from time zero to last sampling time [AUC(0-t)] (time frame: 2 days). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2017.
