About this study

Official title: A Study to Characterize Puff Topography With Use of a JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) in Adult Smokers

A Study to Characterize Puff Topography with Use of a JUUL 5% Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) in Adult Smokers

Read the detailed description

This will be an open label study to evaluate puff topography in adult smokers using a JUUL 5% ENDS. Up to 30 subjects will be enrolled and evaluated on Day 1 and Day 15. The duration of the study is 15 days with up to a 28 days screening window.

Being tested
JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS product
Keywords
Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS), ENDS, Puff Topography

What participants receive

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

  • JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS productOther

    Also called ENDS

    Subjects participate in a 15 day product use period during which subjects will be requested to predominantly use the JUUL 5% product ad libitum as their primary source of nicotine. Subjects will be asked to report their daily use of the JUUL 5% product and CPD throughout the 15 day product use period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Duration

    To characterize overall puff duration

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Volume

    To characterize overall puff volume

    Measured: 15 days

  3. Puff Topography Parameter - Peak Puff Flow Rate

    To characterize overall peak puff flow rate

    Measured: 15 days

  4. Puff Topography Parameter - Average Puff Flow Rate

    To characterize overall average puff flow

    Measured: 15 days

  5. Puff Topography Parameter - Inter-Puff Interval

    To characterize overall inter-puff interval (time between puffs)

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Self-reported product use over 15-day period

    To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and self-reported product use (number of puffs per day and number of JUULpods started each day) in a 15-day product use period.

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Subjective measure of product liking

    To assess the relationship between puff topography parameters and JUUL 5% ENDs liking using a "Product Liking Questionnaire". Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at all) to 100 (Extremely) in response to question "I like using the JUUL Product."

    Measured: 15 days

  3. Subjective measure of cigarette dependence

    Assessment of cigarette dependence with "Fagerstrom Test for Cigarette Dependence Questionnaire (FTCD)". Questionnaire consists of 6 questions.

    Measured: 15 days

  4. Subjective measure of smoking urges

    Assessment of current smoking urge with "Questionnaire of Smoking Urges - Brief (QAU-B)". Responses to various statements with scale 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).

    Measured: 15 days

  5. Subjective measure of effects of nicotine

    Assessment of nicotine using the "Direct Effects of Nicotine Scale." Visual analogue scale with scale 0 (Not at All) to 100 (Extremely) in response to words describing how the subject feels.

    Measured: 15 days

  6. Subject measure of affect

    Assessment of affect using the "Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS)". Scale consists of a number of words that describe different feelings and emotions. Scale 1 (Very Slightly or Not at All), 2 (A Little), 3 (Moderately), 4 (Quite a Bit), 5 (Extremely).

    Measured: 15 days

  7. Subjective measure of nicotine withdrawal

    Assessment of nicotine withdrawal using the "Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (MNWS-R)." Scale consists of 15 words/statements that describe different feelings. Scale 0 (None) to 4 (Severe).

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing JUUL 5%, Virginia Tobacco, ENDS product in people with Tobacco Use and Nicotine Dependence, Other Tobacco Product, run by Juul Labs, Inc. at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 14 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Puff Topography Parameter - Puff Duration (time frame: 15 days). The study lists 5 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 14 Jun 2021.
