About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Single-Center Clinical Trial to Evaluate Selected Constituents in the Exhaled Breath and Room Air From the Use of E-vapor Products and Conventional Cigarettes Studied Under Residential, Office and Hospitality Environmental Conditions

An open-label, single center, three-arm observational study to examine emissions from e-cigarettes versus conventional cigarettes under three environmental settings of typical residential, office and hospitality facilities.

Read the detailed description

Specific constituents will be measured in exhaled breath samples (EBS) from adult e-vapor product users and smokers when they are using e-vapor products or smoking conventional cigarettes. These constituents and particle counts (PC), will be measured in the room air samples (RAS) collected in the environmental exposure chamber (EEC) where adult e-cigarette users and smokers are using electronic cigarettes or smoking conventional cigarettes.

All subjects will undergo a Screening Visit to assess if they meet study eligibility criteria. If all eligibility criteria are met and the subject signs informed consent, the subject will be assigned to one of three groups: Group I (JUUL), Group II (VUSE Solo), or Group III (Conventional Cigarettes).

All three Groups will be sequentially observed in environmental settings 1 (residential), 2 (office), and 3 (hospitality). The observation period allocated for each environmental setting will be 2-days and 2-overnights for Groups I and II, and 1-day and 1-overnight for Group III. Each observation period will be referred to as a "Clinic Visit".

Subjects will move on to subsequent Environment Settings (Clinic Visits 2 or 3) after completion of the previous Clinic Visit (1 or 2).

Subjects must return to the clinic for Clinic Visit 1 within 60 days of the Screening Visit. Clinic Visit 2 must occur 7 ± 2 days after the Clinic Visit 1, and Clinic Visit 3 must occur 7 ± 2 days after Clinic Visit 2.

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 8 inclusion and 16 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 1 site in Canada. 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?

Exhaled Breath Sample (EBS) - Nicotine (time frame: Clinic Visit (JUUL/VUSE: 2 days and 2 overnights; conventional cigarette: 1 day and 1 overnight)). The study lists 12 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 NCT03605641, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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.
