Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with random nicotine delivery via a nicotine film both before and after the target quit date will facilitate smoking cessation relative to treatment with steady state delivery or placebo. The investigators hypothesize that smoking cessation will be greater in subjects assigned to a random nicotine delivery regimen (as compared to those assigned to a steady state or placebo regimen). The nicotine film product is not part of the standard of care and is not available in non-investigational settings in the United States.


Clinical Trial Description

This project is a prospective parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which 45 current cigarette smokers who are interested in quitting will be randomly allocated to one of three possible nicotine film treatment regimens: 1. Random nicotine delivery (a combination of four 0 mg and 4 mg films daily not to exceed three non-consecutive 4 mg films in one day and to maintain an average of 8 mg of nicotine per day through 7 days for 6 weeks total). 2. Steady state nicotine delivery (2, 2, 2, 2 mg films daily for 6 weeks total) 3. Placebo delivery (0, 0, 0, 0 mg films daily for 6 weeks total) Prior to assignment in one of the above treatment groups, all participants will take part in a 1-week baseline period to assess normal smoking behavior and nicotine dependence. Following randomization to their assigned treatment group at Visit 2, participants will be instructed to smoke cigarettes as they feel necessary over the next two weeks while using the nicotine films as directed (i.e., one film every 3-4 hours for a total of four films per day). After two weeks of pre-cessation treatment, participants will be asked completely cease cigarette smoking and to only use their assigned nicotine films as directed. Participants will be supported in their quitting efforts with regular contacts both in person at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and over the phone. ;
