Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The study sample will comprise generally healthy, U.S. adult tobacco consumers 21 to 60 years of age, inclusive, who are regular smokers (≥5 cigarettes/day) on at least 20 of 30 days, who are not currently quitting all Tobacco- and/or Nicotine-containing Product (TNP) use, and who have no intention of quitting all TNP use in the next three months (quitting CC use only is allowable). Once enrolled, subjects confirming an intent to quit all TNP use during the AUP will be discontinued. A recruiting target for younger smokers (21-30 years old) of approximately 15% will be established to ensure that they are sufficiently represented among the enrolled subjects.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult males or females, 21-60 years old, inclusive, verified with government-issued photo ID.
  • Must be a current smoker of factory-made filtered menthol and/or non-menthol cigarettes, has smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, and typically smoke on at least 20 days out of the past 30 days.
  • Smokes, on average, ≥ 5 combustible cigarettes per day (CPD) on days when cigarettes are smoked.
  • Must indicate "an intention to use" the HTP IP after a brief review of product information at the Screening and Enrollment Visit (SEV). Subjects will not try the product at the SEV.
  • Available and interested in participating in an 8-week study about the HTP IP.
  • Able and willing to comply with all study requirements, including questionnaires, the eDiary reporting procedures, and provide valid contact information.
  • Able to read, understand, and willing to sign Informed Consent Forms (ICFs) and complete questionnaires written in English.
  • Has not participated in any tobacco-, vapor-, or nicotine-related research within 3 months of screening.

Who cannot join

  • Self-reports as currently quitting or intending to quit within the next 3 months all tobacco or nicotine product use ("currently" is defined as within (≤) 30 days prior to signing ICF#1). Those who intend to quit CC only can be enrolled.
  • Female subjects who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or start breastfeeding within the next 6 months based on self-report.
  • Female subjects who self-report they are not using adequate methods to prevent pregnancy.
  • Self-reports "poor" physical health (based on the five-category Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) questionnaire): "In general, how would you rate your physical health?" (Response choices: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor).
  • Self-reports "poor" mental health (based on the five-category PATH questionnaire): "In general, how would you rate your mental health?" (Response choices: Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor).
  • Employees of tobacco or vapor companies.

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Site Study to Assess Actual Use of a Heated Tobacco Product With Four Non-Combusted Cigarette Variants in Current Adult Smokers

This is a multi-site, open-label, 8-week, prospective observational study, conducted at multiple sites geographically dispersed within the U.S. The purpose of this Actual Use Study (AUS) is to investigate how U.S. adult tobacco consumers 21 to 60 years of age, inclusive, who typically smoke on average (≥5 cigarettes/day) on at least 20 out of the past 30 days will use a heated tobacco product comprising a heating device and four non-combusted cigarette variants (HTP Investigational Product [IP]) over a 6-week Actual Use Period (AUP) in their real-life/naturalistic environment and in the context of typical consumer marketing materials.

Read the detailed description

Adult smokers will be recruited, and candidate subjects who meet study inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will give verbal consent for further screening. Candidate subjects will be scheduled to attend an in-person Site Enrollment Visit. Subjects will self-report their ad libitum use of the HTP IP as well as use of combustible cigarettes (CCs) and any other tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (TNPs) on a daily basis using an electronic diary (eDiary).

During a 1-week Baseline Assessment Period (BAP), enrolled subjects will record all CC and any other TNP use in the eDiary. At the end of the BAP, subjects will return to the study site for Site Visit 1 (SV1). At this visit, subjects will be provided the HTP IP for the first two weeks of the AUP.

During the subsequent 6-week observational AUP, subjects can choose to use the HTP IP (or not). Subjects will be instructed to record all daily TNP and CC use in the eDiary. They will return to the site every two weeks during the AUP for an in-person interview, to complete questionnaires and for product accountability and resupply. As with SV1, at Site Visit 2 and 3, subjects will be able to select their preferred HTP IP variants (if desired) for use during the subsequent 2-week AUP. Point of sale materials will be present during subject interactions at SVs. After Week 6 of the AUP, there will be a final site visit and week-long Close Out Period.

In addition to collecting information on daily ad libitum use of HTP IP, TNP and CC use, the study will assess subjective measures for each HTP IP, including product use/misuse and intent to use again (at close of study). Information on intention to quit CC use will be collected at enrollment and at study conclusion. A passive surveillance mechanism will be used to collect information on adverse health experiences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Smoking and Tobacco Use, run by RAI Services Company at 10 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 24 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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?

Number and Proportion of Established Users (time frame: 6 weeks). The study lists 3 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 24 Jun 2022.
