About this study

Official title: CSD190301: A Study to Assess Elements of Abuse Liability for Two Dissolvable Nicotine Lozenge Tobacco Products During a 6-Day In-Clinic Confinement

This is a two-arm, single use, single-center, randomized, 10-sequence per arm, open-label, crossover pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) study, designed to evaluate elements of abuse liability (AL) including subjective effects, plasma nicotine uptake, and physiological measures during and following ad libitum use of the study investigational products (IPs) by generally healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

Cigarette smokers and smokers who also use smokeless tobacco (SST) [e.g., snus, moist snuff] will be recruited into the study.

Starting on Day -1, eligible subjects will be confined at the clinical site for 6 days. Subjects will be randomized to evaluate one IP in each of five separate Test Sessions, such that each subject will evaluate five IPs: one of two forms of the nicotine lozenge in three different regimens, a commercially-available nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) nicotine lozenge, and the subjects' usual brand (UB) cigarettes.

Each Test Session will last for approximately 6 hours during and following IP use and will include collection of subjective measures, PK assessments and physiological measures.

On Day -1, subjects will be instructed on how to use both the specific lozenge IP in their assigned study arm and the NRT lozenge and will have one trial use of both IP.

What is being measured

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

  1. AUEC PL 5-360

    area under the effects curve (AUEC) for product liking (PL) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score-versus-time curve from 5 minutes to 360 minutes after the start of IP use. Data is collected from a 100 point VAS scale; Range from 0 = "Strongly dislike" to 100 = "Strongly Like"

    Measured: 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 360 minutes

  2. Emax PL

    maximum product liking Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score after the start of IP use. Data is collected from a 100 point VAS scale; Range from 0 = "Strongly dislike" to 100 = "Strongly Like"

    Measured: 360 Minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Product A, Product B and Product C in people with Smoking and Tobacco Use, run by RAI Services Company at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 23 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 12 Mar 2020. 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 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?

AUEC PL 5-360 (time frame: 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 360 minutes). The study lists 2 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 12 Mar 2020.
