About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Randomized Crossover Study Comparing Nicotine Pharmacokinetics of Seven Electronic Cigarette Products and One Traditional Cigarette Across Two Delivery (10 Puff and Ad-libitum) Conditions, in Healthy Adult Smokers.

A Randomized Study Comparing Nicotine Pharmacokinetics of Seven Electronic Cigarette Products and One Traditional Cigarette Across Two Delivery (10 puff and ad- libitum) Conditions, in Healthy Adult Smokers

Read the detailed description

E- cigarettes may be an acceptable alternative to traditional cigarette smoking. By utilizing vaporization rather than combustion, the generation and inhalation of HPHCs, smoke, and carbon monoxide (CO) may be reduced or avoided. This study will provide an understanding of the in vitro levels of nicotine obtained with use of the company's ENDS products compared to competitor products marketed in the United States of America (USA), and to a popular brand of combustible cigarette smoked in the USA.

Being tested
JUUL Virginia Tobacco flavored 5.0% ENDS, PMI iQOS Heat sticks, Reynolds VUSE Solo ENDS - Original, Imperial MyBlu ENDS - Original, Altria MarkTen ENDS - Bold Classic

What is being measured

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

  1. Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.

    To estimate nicotine pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 E-Cigarette/cigarette products within-each and between-all delivery conditions (10 puffs versus ad libitum puffs) using Area Under the nicotine concentration-time curve (AUC1hour) calculated using linear trapezoidal summation from time zero (defined as the start of product use) to 60 minutes.

    Measured: 48 days

  2. Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.

    Nicotine Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 e-cigarettes/cigarette will be estimated using AUC1hour-baseline (baseline adjusted AUC1hour)

    Measured: 48 days

  3. Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.

    Nicotine Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 e-cigarettes/cigarette will be estimated using Cmax (Maximum measured plasma concentration over the duration of the measurement interval.

    Measured: 48 days

  4. Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.

    Nicotine Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 e-cigarettes/cigarette will be estimated using Cmax-baseline(Baseline adjusted Cmax)

    Measured: 48 days

  5. Nicotine PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP.

    Nicotine Pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles across 8 e-cigarettes/cigarette will be estimated using Tmax(Time of the maximum measured plasma concentration over the duration of the measurement interval. If the maximum value occurs at more than one time point within the time span specified, Tmax is defined as the first time point with this value

    Measured: 48 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Measure exhaled Carbon Monoxide change in all product administration periods

    To estimate change in exhaled carbon monoxide (CO) for 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes Products, in all product administration periods under 2 different delivery (10 puff and ad-libitum) conditions. Exhaled CO will be measured 5-15 minutes prior to initiation of the first inhalation, and up to 15 minutes after the collection of the 30 minute PK sample

    Measured: 48 days

  2. Characterize level of user Satisfaction for 8e-cigarette/cigarettes products using Modified Product Evaluation Scale

    To characterize measures of subjective effects with use of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes Products under 2 different delivery (10 puff and ad-libitum) conditions using a modified Product Evaluations Scale questionnaire using scale below after collection of the 30-minute PK sample and exhaled CO measurement.

    Change in Evaluation: 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" (questions 1, 2, 3, and 12); "Psychological Reward" (questions 4 through 8); "Aversion" (questions 9, 10, 16, and 18) and "Relief" (questions 11, 13, 14, 15, and reversed for question 19) and single questions 17 and 20 will be summarized.

    Measured: 48 days

  3. Characterize consumption of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes products by collecting total number of puffs for each e-cigarette

    To characterize consumptions of 8 E-cigarettes/cigarettes products within-each and between-all delivery conditions (10 puffs versus ad-libitum puffs), by collecting total number of puffs.

    Measured: 48 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing JUUL Virginia Tobacco flavored 5.0% ENDS, PMI iQOS Heat sticks and Reynolds VUSE Solo ENDS - Original 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?

The sponsor lists 6 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 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 New Zealand. 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 PK parameters will be calculated from the individual plasma concentrations per details provided in the SAP. (time frame: 48 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.
