About this study

Official title: A Ten Sequence, Open Label, Randomized Crossover Study Comparing Nicotine Pharmacokinetics of JUUL 1.7% and JUUL 5% Nicotine Salt Based Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS Products), in Healthy Adult Smokers

A Ten Sequence, Open Label, Randomized Crossover Study Comparing Nicotine Pharmacokinetics of JUUL 1.7% and JUUL 5% Nicotine Salt Based ENDS Products, in Healthy Adult Smokers.

Read the detailed description

E-cigarettes may be an acceptable alternative to traditional cigarette smoking. In utilizing vaporization rather than combustion, the generation and inhalation of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) may be reduced or avoided. JUUL has developed several nicotine based liquid blends for use in e-cigarettes. This study will provide an understanding of the levels of nicotine obtained with use of the company's 1.7% and 5% ENDS products.

Being tested
Tobacco flavored JUUL 1.7% ENDS, Tobacco flavored JUUL 5% ENDS, Mint flavored JUUL 1.7% ENDS, Mint flavored JUUL 5% ENDS, Fruit Medley flavored JUUL 1.7% ENDS

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Pre and Post exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) values for each subject and Test Product.

    Change in Pre and Post exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) values for each subject and Test Product.

    Measured: 38 Days

  2. To compare user satisfaction measures of each Test Product when consumed by smokers and e-cigarette users.

    Measure of subjective product evaluation using the "modified Product Evaluation Scale (mPES)" Change in Evaluation; Scale: 1 = not at all, 2 = very little, 3 = a little, 4 = moderately, 5 = a lot, 6 = quite a lot, 7 = extremely

    Four multi-item subscales will be derived from "Satisfaction" (items 1, 2, 3, and 12); "Psychological Reward" (items 4 through 8); "Aversion" (items 9, 10, 16, and 18); and "Relief" (item 11, 13, 14, 15, and reversed for item 19) and single items 17 and 20 will be summarized.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tobacco flavored JUUL 1.7% ENDS, Tobacco flavored JUUL 5% ENDS and Mint flavored JUUL 1.7% ENDS in people with Nicotine Dependence and Nicotine Dependence, Cigarettes, run by Juul Labs, Inc. 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?

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?

Compare nicotine pharmacokinetics(PK) in smokers and e-cigarette users measuring Time to Maximum Concentration(Tmax) (time frame: 38 Days). The study lists 4 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 21 Jun 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
