Clinical Trial Summary

Two-arm, parallel-group, non-crossover, single-center pilot randomized controlled trial, enrolling up to 180 participants to evaluate the effect of the Pivot smoking cessation program (intervention) compared to usual care (commercially available app smoking cessation program plus optional nicotine replacement therapy, control).


Description:

The present pilot randomized controlled trial compares user engagement and retention, change in attitudes towards quitting smoking, change in smoking behavior and participant feedback in adult smokers randomized either to the Pivot (intervention) or commercially available (control) smoking cessation programs. We aim to assess participants' use of Pivot program and commercially available program. There will be a focus on assessing use and engagement, changes in attitudes towards quitting smoking and changes in smoking behavior over the course of the 2-year study, as well as participant feedback on the set-up, design, use experience, and impact of each program.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Average Total App Openings at 12 Weeks App/program engagement is assessed with the self-report of total app openings through the first 12 weeks of the program. Calculated by summing the number of weekly app openings reported by participants weekly. 12 weeks
Secondary Desire to Quit (Yes/no) desire to quit smoking, participant self-report, yes/no 4 weeks
Secondary Change in Expected Difficulty in Staying Quit Expected difficulty to stay quit from smoking. Participants asked: "How difficult do you think it would be to stay smoke free?". Participant self-report on scale 1-10 (1=Really hard to stay quit, 10=Really easy to stay quit) 12 weeks

Secondary Biochemically Confirmed Abstinence Participants who report they have achieved at least 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 12 weeks will undergo a videoconference visit with study staff in which they provide a witnessed breath sample using a provided personal mobile carbon monoxide breath sensor. Breath sample values less than 10 ppm (parts per million) will be considered consistent with biochemical abstinence. 12 weeks
Secondary Biochemically Confirmed Abstinence Participants who report they have achieved at least 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 26 weeks will undergo a videoconference visit with study staff in which they provide a witnessed breath sample using a provided personal mobile carbon monoxide breath sensor. Breath sample values less than 10 ppm (parts per million) will be considered consistent with biochemical abstinence. 26 weeks
Secondary Biochemically Confirmed Abstinence Participants who report they have achieved at least 7-day point prevalence abstinence at 52 weeks will undergo a videoconference visit with study staff in which they provide a witnessed breath sample using a provided personal mobile carbon monoxide breath sensor. Breath sample values less than 10 ppm (parts per million) will be considered consistent with biochemical abstinence. 52 weeks
Secondary Self-Reported Continuous Abstinence Defined as self-report of 7-day PPA or greater at 12 weeks, 30-day PPA at 26 weeks, and no more than 5 cigarettes during the intervening time period. 26 weeks
Secondary Self-Reported Continuous Abstinence Defined as self-report of 7-day PPA or greater at 12 weeks, 30-day PPA at 26 weeks, and no more than 5 cigarettes during the intervening time period. 52 weeks

Secondary Proportion With = 50% CPD Reduction The proportion of participants who reduced their cigarettes per day (CPD) by = 50% compared to baseline 26 weeks
Secondary User Satisfaction - User Feedback User satisfaction with the smoking cessation program, specifically its impact on motivation to quit smoking, and the amount of cigarettes smoked per day. Participants were asked: "How has using your assigned program affected your motivation to quit smoking?" and "How has using your assigned program affected the number of cigarettes you smoke per day?" with the answer choices of "increased", "not affected", and "decreased". 2 weeks
Secondary Additional User Feedback User feedback on what they have learned from using their assigned smoking cessation program. Participants were asked "Which of the following best described what you have learned from using your program?" with the answer choices: "I've learned some really unique/key insights into my smoking behavior", "I've learned some things but nothing that impactful", "I have not learned anything from the program", and "I am more confused after using the program". 3 weeks
Secondary User Feedback - Setup and Starting the Program User feedback with the smoking cessation program, specifically ease of set-up and starting of the program (scale of 1-10, higher value equates to easier time setting up and starting use of the program) 12 weeks
Secondary User Feedback User feedback with the smoking cessation program, specifically whether the program helped with their smoking cessation goals (true/false), and whether the program helped them quit smoking (true/false). 26 weeks
Secondary User Feedback: Number of Participants Who Agreed That Their Program Helped Them Quit Smoking User feedback with the smoking cessation program, specifically whether the program helped them quit smoking (true/false). 52 weeks
Secondary User Satisfaction - Net Promoter Score (NPS) User satisfaction with the smoking cessation program, specifically the likelihood of recommending the program to a friend. Measured with a net promoter score (NPS).
Participants are asked "How likely are you to recommend your study program to a friend or colleague?" and answer on a 10-point (1-10) scale (where 1=Not at all likely and 10=Very likely).
NPS was calculated for each study group by subtracting the percentage of respondents who answered =6 (detractors) from the percentage of respondents who answered 9 or 10 (promotors).
NPS formula = %promotor - %detractor NPS has a score range between -100 and 100 (-100 indicates 100% detractors, 100 indicated 100% promotors of the program).
A higher NPS score indicates greater promoters of the program, and thus a greater likelihood of individuals recommending the program to a friend.
